Some people may put it that way, that I am mad, but the proper definition is ADD.
AND, i was KIDDING when i said about the nukes. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE NUKES, but the thing is, theyd never work with the game.

Im new, but here is an IDEA I had, (if its listed somewhere between page 5 and 12 than my bad
)
What if you could make a vehicle that was a simple wheelbarrel. You push it around, it goes at walking speed, but it allows you to carry alot more stuff. It could be cheap and easy to make. I think it would work... except for the "A man in his twentys gets into a wheelbarrel".

Yep, it's been suggested independently a few times, on http://www.cantr.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=110039#110039 or http://www.cantr.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=129081#129081.

An amphibious vehicle would be pretty cool, and shouldn't be hard to code - as far as I can tell, ships have the coding to drive, but are blocked from all eixsting roads - roads appear on the Location page but are grayed out.
One problem might be handling of docked ships. Do we assume that the docked boats are carried on top of the amphibious vehicle? We could just work around the question by making all amphibious vehicles small and undockable, but that might be just too good as a pirate vehicle.
It would be completely awesome to have a galleon-sized amphibious vehicle with a cabin: moving castles, anyone? But I'm not sure that would be good for Cantr.

Of course galleon-sized amphibious is a stupid idea. I thought rather about new type of vehicle which would be slower and more expensive than ships but more universal (2 in 1). Amphibious shouldn't be very big (max 4 pasangers) and sholudn't have cabins.
In my oppinion this kind of vehicle should be more interesting for trade than for pirates (expensive, slow and no cabin).

I was looking at the Treefeather map IG when I realized how far it would be to leave the Seatown lake with the desire of reaching Pok by water. But if it were me and I owned a canoe, I could portage it the distance. Unfortunately, I can walk with a canoe at the same rate that most travel normally, so I don't think it is a journey one would do too often in RL. But portaging a very small boat designed for it (canoe or kayak) Should be possible. If you are carrying a canoe you cannot hit anyone or enter buildings (until vehicles can enter buildings) You can't walk as fast and changing directions might even take some time. You cannot see people on the road but you could hear them and talk to them. The boat is useless unless at a lake/seaside town. It can be dropped/picked up like a machine, if that makes sense.
-Read bottom up-
Pok Mail Service Boat undocks
You see a man in his thirties enter Pok Mail Service Boat, leaving the central area of Pok Harbour.
You see a man in his thirties drop Pok Mail Service Boat 001
You see a man in his thirties (Portaging Pok Mail Service Boat 001).
You see a man in his thirties pick up Pok Mail Service Boat 001.
This could only apply for very small boats, canoes and kayaks are the only two I know of that one person can comfortably manage. Unless we add the new vehicle attatchment:
Small Trailer: Capable of moving all small lake boats and perhaps a longboat
Large Trailer: Longboat, sloop, darter, dingy
Boats dock to town->dock to trailer(if available and empty)
Trailer attaches to car
You see The Titan VISE-002(towing MySloopRacer)
Passenger/Stationcars, both trucks, the jeep, the vans should all be able to handle this.
We've all thought about vehicles on a boat, lets now consider boats on vehicles.
