Engineering has always been used by the powerful first, and by common people - later, if at all. Thus for the greater part of ancient and medieval history, the great engineers were busy building walls, castles, catapults and weapons, and only from time to time - roads, aqueducts, bridges and some other infrastructure which could be used for something else different than war.

abstract
  • Engineering has always been used by the powerful first, and by common people - later, if at all. Thus for the greater part of ancient and medieval history, the great engineers were busy building walls, castles, catapults and weapons, and only from time to time - roads, aqueducts, bridges and some other infrastructure which could be used for something else different than war. But the Industrial revolution brings progress at an unprecedented scale, and it makes clear for the first time ever that civilian infrastructure could benefit the powerful, as well as the common people. And all of a sudden engineers find themselves commissioned to plan and execute public works. Adopting Civil Engineering is an important milestone for a nation, required to further its urban development. First, it replaces a bunch of outdated Economic and Military Policies with new, contemporary ones. Second, it develops important farming technology improvements, which allow Farms to be built on some Hills. And last but not least, it provides automatic defenses to all your cities (prior to the Summer 2017 Update, in which this bonus is transferred to Steel).
