Hi, welcome to the forum. I'd ask that you perform a search before submitting new topics - as it happens this topic has been discussed before on numerous occasions. I'll throw in a few links in a second. EDIT: Link - as it happens, I now recall having waded into this discussion myself! However, speaking personally, I very much doubt that these platforms will make it into the game, for the simple reason that Uber has opted to make most land structures buildable on water. This is to facilitate combat on water planets with greater ease. If you haven't already, try building a few buildings in the water and see what happens. This pretty much makes these platforms redundant!
Would be hilarious to have bridges though. Even god damn Civilization 5 would be better if there were bridges Bridges is just good
I think bridges are an awesome idea!!!! makes for a nice set of strategic maneuvers!!!! i could build a bridge simply to trick my opponent and then flank from the sides with transports!!!!
