building roads with more than one type

Post by Ormand »

I have question about road building when the scenario (or master file) has more than one type of road. It seems to me that when I click on the build road icon for engineers, I don't get a choice for which type of road to build. Just the direction, and then the default road appears. In the master file I made I have four different road types, with different costs, and in some cases one wouldn't necessarily want to build the railroad into an area. Again, I am wondering if I did something incorrectly.

A little bad news and some good news.

Bad news. Engineers can only build one type of road.

Good news. This is a setting that can be changed in rulewar 32.

Other good news. The rulewar can be changed in game. So you can actually have engineers in a scenario build different type of roads. I did this in my Fire in The East scenario with each side getting an actioncard. Play that actioncard and the engineers build railways or whatever instead of roads until you change it again.

Thanks Grymme. That explains that. I did notice the little button for rulevar 32 in the roads screen. I think you also posted this as a wishlist. It would be nice to allow engineers to select the road.

I believe you also posted about different types of bridges. I noticed that you can essentially have two bridge graphics. You can set which road can use the alternate graphic. I think you can set two road types to use the alternate graphic.
