Description:

Improves several Civil Infrastructure gameplay elements incl. Roads, Canals, Mountain Tunnels, Military Engineers (and Bridges if installed).

Since it changes parts of "Port Lime – Bridge District", that mod is highly recommended, however it is not required.

##### DISCLAIMER #####
Some people have stated that "Port Lime – Bridge District" has some bugs that can break multiplayer games, so be aware if you play multiplayer.

Some design ideas behind this mod:
  • Improve unit mobility with roads
  • Improve strategic naval mobility with more canals
  • Increase the maintanance of Civil Infrastructure and add domestic trade route yields to convert gold into food, production and culture
  • You can now build cities focused on providing food or production to your other cities through trade routes
  • Make Military Engineer more useful by making things they improve more useful ("Enhanced Military Infrastructure" may come at some point)

Full list of changes below (if you have balance suggestions, please post them in the comments):

  • Provides 2 Food, 1 Production as destination for domestic trade routes
  • Provides 2 Gold as destination and origin for international trade routes

Panama Canal
