Pontoon Bridge (Brave New World)

In 1 collection by Tomatekh

Description
The Pontoon Bridge allows land units to cross a single coastal tile without embarking and may be used to form (Road) City Connections. Land Units suffer a combat penalty versus Naval Units while on a Pontoon Bridge, and the Bridge has the same maintenance cost as a Road tile.

The improvement may be constructed by Work Boats after Mathematics is researched (consumes the unit), or by embarked Roman Legions (does not consume the unit). Requires at least 2 non-contiguous adjacent land tiles or at least 4 contiguous adjacent land tiles and may not be constructed adjacent to another Pontoon Bridge or on Resource Tiles.

~~~

Note:
- Requires the Brave New World expansion.
- The AI will use the improvement to a limited extent (varies based on map type).
- You may notice some interruption for automated Work Boat movement. This is normal and a consequence of fixing the improvement terrain requirement.

Nice idea but flawed.
Good part
-creates city connection
Bad part
-doesnt allow for land trading
-weird maps can make a work boat a very bad choice to create this. A work would be a much better choice
- cannot be upgraded to railroad
- entering the bridge cost a full point of movement. Exiting it kills the entire movement.
Because of this units will almost always go through the water instead, specially if you have amphibious promotion.

MAthematics os a bit weird of a tech to have this. Engineering would make more sense

I have no idea why, and I'm assuming you need work boats for this, but I don't have any menu options for building pontoon bridges. The AIs apparently can, but not me, which is kind of a problem. :/

EDIT:
Right as I said this, after moving it around for a bit and docking then undocking from a different town, it suddenly decided to appear for some reason. <_> That's weird.

EDIT, again:
Ah, I see, it's because it can't be built next to resource tiles...

it doesn't seem to work for me, idk why, the mod is ticked and everything

Adds a whole new dynamic to the game, especially when waging war on island maps. Can't believe I went so many years without this. Superb.

Super mod, it works perfectly. Even if it could be built on a railway bridge. Would it be possible to do that?

Sadly seems to have broken for me, even though I'm sure I installed it correctly. It worked fine in previous games, maybe there's a mod conflict?

Great mod, thank you for the job.
It really makes islands more useful as well as enchancing overall Civilization 5 gameplay impressions.

@Judgemental Soldier: Check Like Moses mod (aka canal mod).
