Description

Allows workboats to cross ice tiles.

Background: It often annoys me to settle a civ near a sea resource and not be able to improve it because it is blocked by ice tiles. But now with this mod, you can use those resources without any worry of not being able to access them.

Usage: Simply enable the mod and your good to go!

Supprts: Should support all versions of Civ 5.

Is it possible to add ice as a strtegic resource that become obsolete in the industrial age. Ice was worth a fortune in the desert back in the day

I would recommend instead creating a naval unit(icebreaker) that can break one ice hex per turn(turning it to whatever was underneath) This way you could go after the unique resource(oil, etc) without changing the balance of the game too much.

@micaiahdragon: Not entirely true, if he made it so icetiles would cost an extra move or two, it could represent dragging the boat over the ice with rope and logs. The boat would roll on the logs and have ropes tied to it to be dragged obviousl. This have happened in history many times, maybe not on ice but definitely on land. The reason we don't do it on ice nowadays; we have icebreakers.

Make it an ability unlocked in later eras and also alow for the workboats to remove ice (but be removed as always when they make an improvement). Representing the fact that the work boat is an icebreaker designated to keeping that tile open.
