Engineering (Civ5)

Engineering is a technology in Civilization V.
== Game Info ==
Engineering is the next step in practical building. Thanks to it and mathematics, men learn to design complex structures and machines without having to actually build them to see them working. This opens up an infinite universe of possibilities and allows many surprising technological advancements, such as more efficient movement on roads by building bridges over Rivers (which eliminates the penalty for crossing them), or transportation of water over large distances thanks to the Aqueduct systems. Workers also learn how to create Forts. They preclude other tile improvements in the hex, but they make it easier for military units to hold the line against incoming forces.
Engineering is lower on the tree, near many of the more militant pieces from this era. Take it to push your civilization toward major defensive technologies like Machinery (for Crossbowmen) and Physics (for Trebuchets). If you're holding off a major foe, this is absolutely the best route to take.
