Appian Way and Cave Dwellings ?

Hi,

I'm posting this suggestion there because I didn't find the related section on the forums. My apologies.

I suggest the dev team to think of adding the Appian Way and the city of Matera (take a look at the nice pics of this city)

The Appain Way might be buildable (at least a connexion to it) or pre-existing in maps, and it might have a speed booster effect for moving units and trading carts from one place to another.

The city of Matera is interesting because I've seen in no game cave dwellings which, are one of the oldest type of home for the ancient peoples.
These cave dwellings might get a strength bonus since they were carved in plain rock.

  • Manimal changed the title to Appian Way and Cave Dwellings ?

New constructable road or already built up road.
Gives a speed bonus to any unit as long as it's moving on it.

Already built up city or unique constructible buildings (forum, cave dwellings, cave temple, barracks, etc ) based on the original ones.
Some buildings would have a better strength than all other buildings of any civilization. See the pictures from wikipedia.
This might be an ability when playing some civilizations on maps with lots of canyons, mountains, cliffs.

Many civilizations were able to dig cave buildings (link to the french wikipedia, more historical than its equivalent in english) all around the world.

While we're at talking of dwellings, I've seen a few days ago on arte (tv channel) a nice archeological CG reconstitution of a village of the Neolithic and its restoration.
It is located in Jordania, not too far from Petra. The houses had 2 floors (maybe 1 more ?) and they suppose people were spending a part of the day on rooftops.
All the dwellings were stuck on one another, as shown in the CG picture below.
I'm wondering if the devs could add such specific buildings in 0AD.
