Make the bridges destructible on Dodescanese I want to ram bridges with new ram boats.

After all I advertize this idea, hoping there might be technical possibilities to prevent AIs getting into dead ends.

As an example were this was discussed:

Currently it's not really possible to do such a thing. The only thing with dynamic pathfinding are gates.

The game has a 2D grid not a 3D one

It sounds like there will be more years before that.
