I would try it as an addon if the game engine supports it in principle. My widelands addons: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jopANlODo41T2reHJ0zaCOMYxq_rxXP-/view?usp=sharing Top Quote

Either they might cost resources to build or take up more space. Otherwise I feel like increasing the carrier count will weaken gameplay by making road planning too easy. Top Quote

Carrier type 2+ had buildcosts. The classic tribes use animals (horse, donkey, cattle) as a second carrier type, which are "recruite" in farms. My second carrier of the europeans is simply a human, but can only produced in recruitement center with basket and basket is created in smithies out of wood and metal. So they are even relatively the most expensive, because you need metal and mines, to recruit them. For the classic tribes you can create 4 carrier types. Basic = free Second = animal, you only need food Third = you need a tool out of iron Fourth = you need a tool out of gold BTW: It shoud be simply an addon, no change of the basic tribe content.

Maybe 1 or 2 types of their rare trees stuff. BTW: It shoud be simply an addon, no change of the basic tribe content. +1 Top Quote
