Canal Formation

[ZakTheBuilder1]

A tech that would cost 5 turns to unlock and 3 to build for engineers
It would create a shallow water square and would let ships get to places it couldn't go before
You first have to clear terrain then create canal.

There already is a canal terrain, it just needs to be build able by engineers.

Good idea there is a Bridge for land units to cross over water, so in return there should be a canal for water units to cross land

[ZakTheBuilder1]

Imagine a Bismarck showing up to your front door in a canal.

No, I don't think that very big ships should pass through canals. Like Battleships and Aircraft Carriers.

[ZakTheBuilder1]

OK so it would be a small canal
And you can make it two wide to fit bigger ships? It would take more work so maybe it would be fair.

Can't carrier pass through Suez canal.

[Harchie Hirondo]

Mhmm, yeah... Ships that are very big shouldn't pass through canals. However, if the canal is more than 1 tile wide it could make way for the other ships too. However, it is not possible in game (I gueess) to make canals passable through by very big ships, if the canal is more than one tile wide.

[ZakTheBuilder1]

Its up to y'all I don't mind having only cruisers and destroyers and sub's
I think its reasonable but it would be fun to have a battle ship go through the map.

With the canal in AOS, I think that could also be added to aow.

I mean, they have better construction ability during the time.

Clone the canal building function in use in AoG. Seems like that would be a simple thing.
