Is this possible??[&:]

No.



Chairman -> RE: Building roads/railroads (8/31/2004 6:54:54 PM)

Why do you get engineers that are road constructors then??[&:]



steveh11Matrix -> RE: Building roads/railroads (8/31/2004 7:15:44 PM)

Actually, that's a good question. I hadn't realised those were in the game, and I also had not yet looked to see if I could upgrade roads - although it does look as if they've been drawn directly on the map, not added as another layer.

So the question remains: what are the road construction engineers for?

they expand facilities and repair damage.

Just named with the historical unit designations. In the game they function just as other engineers.

It woudl be nice to improve roads and such. But it is a two way street (Punny Huh?) If you build it so you can move more over it they can move more down it. I woudl say that building a road through Jungle would be teh equivlant of building a Port over size. A trail to a road the same and a Rail road form a road the same. If you can get the supply in you should be able to do it. Not just road engineers but all engineers. Figure 1 month to build Jungle to Trail , a month for trail to road and another month for Road to Rail, using one Japanese Engineer unit. An allied engineer woudl build according to teh difference in game.

I WANT THE BRIDGE OVER RIVER KWAI, DAMNIT. BUILT BY BRITISH P.O.W.s [:D][:D][:D]



dtravel -> RE: Bridge over river Kwai (9/3/2004 4:17:50 AM)

There are two real world examples that I can think of. The first is the road to Alaska (Can-Am road?) that was built over two summers. The other was the replacement for the Burma road, connecting India to China. That took, what, three to three and a half years? Was started in early '42 and finished May of '45.

While these sorta prove it is possible, the time scale kinda argues against it. Its a moot point anyways, I don't think it is possible given the clues I've seen about how Matrix programmed the map.
