Description
This mod adds the ability to build the improvement : Pontoon Bridge to workers of every civilization, adding another Improvement option to the game that was normaly reserved for Firaxis scenarios.


Features:
  • Makes The 'Pontoon Bridge' (From the American War BNW Scenario by Fireaxis) available to workers of any civilization in normal games
  • Import all original setting and stats for the bridge:
    -Built on Coast Tile, by embarked worker, wich is consumed after construction.
    -The Pontoon Bridge has the same terrain restriction as in the scenario (need to be adjacent to 4 land tile, See Screenshot), to prevent any visual issues and to keep the bridge flavor.
    -The Pontoon cannot be constructed on sea ressource.
    -The Pontoon Bridge requires the 'Engineering' tech to be constructed.

Notes:
  • The Pontoon Bridge was only present in the American War scenario from Brave New World expansion, with this mod, its now incorporated in normal games (expansion still required).

  • Visuals and icons were properly referenced and Civilopedia is Up-to-date regarding this addition. (see screenshots)

Compatibility:
  • Require Brave New World Expansion

I was about to ask if city connections were possible with Pontoon bridges but then someone mentioned not being able to build railroads, and when i figured out you can build roads over Pontoon bridges my mind was blown

Well, this is better. The other Pontoon bridge mod seems to allow constructing bridges only on owned territory

@Naten_

Not a Bug, its was designed that way by Fireaxis in the original game. This mod merely enables the pootoon bridge in normal game setting instead of limiting it to scenarios

Bug: You can't build railroads on the bridge

It works the same way it worked in the scenario made by firexis. I personally think it make sens since its not a permanent steel/concrete bridge but a bridge made of floating components, if you zoom in you will see the little boat underneath.

Gameplaywise it still upgrade a lot your movement speed (embark + disembark would cost you 2 turn, now it cost nothing), it just doesnt act like a road on the top of that.

A bridge that would act like a road on a water would be a different mod and a more complicated one. Maybe there is one out there!

You're right, it works. I just didn't notice there were only three cnnected land parts to that fields, that's why I couldn't build it.

And different question: Is there a way to make that bridge part of the road? Beacuse now, even if I move my unit by bridge to a hill/wood/swamp field with a road on it, units lost all remaining movement points
