New unit or building idea to build roads between the trees

Age of Empires II: DE II - Discussion

We all know that cutting trees can be annoying. Ctrl + click doesnt work very well if you miss a click somewhere and it requires onagers (Imperial Age only).

What do you think of a new unit or building that would allow trees to be cut in a certain predefined direction and create a road?

This would be useful for several reasons:

  • Villagers could cut the trees faster than a classical lamber camp with another building
  • Cutting before the imperial age (sorry Khmers) and reaching the enemy on tree-filled maps.
  • To arrange the map when you’ve got a bad map and not enough space.
  • This subject has already been discussed (technically impossible?), but it could also help build bridges.

I think this could be the new standard technology for the Logging Camp. This technology could enable faster felling of trees in the four cardinal directions to create corridors 3 grids wide.

A “Sapper/Engineer” unit like Petard, with a powerful blow that clears walls and tree lines in a certain radius and available to all civs, but only with low HP instead of suicide?

I was imagining something not military because there are already the onagers for that. But I like the idea to connect it with fire.

Villagers could be able tu burn forests from feudal age.
