	Has anyone tried adding Mines? Support Apolyton, buy Civilization III: Complete

While placing a few listening posts, radar stations, and sonor boues, i noticed that when I swiched from land to sea, with the radar station selected an icon that I can only interprete as a mine showed up. I cold not place it anyware, but it gave me the idea of adding minefields as terain improvements (there seems to be an icon for a land mine also).
I have, however, no idea how to make a minefield work in the game, and what effect it would have, ie. on game balance etc., but the fortification TI has a firepower of 0 so there might be something there.

Has anyone tired adding TI's with firepower? what about minefields as TI's?

Just a stray thoght.

Almost never created scenarios, but I think you can place anything, and it will work there, mines, fisheries, or etc. Not 100% sure, however.

I thought I saw in the modification section under activision faq that they did mention something about a mine unit but it was pulled from the game before release. Sounds like due to a bug in the game the mine icon is still there. It'd be cool to have minefields but I can't find where you could implement them in the files to get them to work.
