Ok, so I get that we can now build roads to foreign cities. However, all we see are the city names. I would like a few more numbers/icons in all that wonderful white space around them:

A number that says how long it will take to build the road to the city.
Some sort of symbol that appears if the city is connected INDIRECTLY to the city who you're building the road from (i.e. through another city).
Brief description of the resources the city has available, if they make it or trade for it or both, and how many. I'm thinking just icons with a number beside them, and that are circled/highlighted if there is a source of the material in the city.
An icon that tells you if the city is foreign or not.
- If SD was feeling really nice, they could even tell you which faction.
Heck, with the size of those boxes, they could probably even fit a small MINIMAP showing the city location in there!

I like all of these ideas, but I thought I noticed that you could not build a road to a city that is 'indirectly' connected.

I'd be happy if the screen just gave us the owner of the city. And it'd be better if it didn't show all the cities. Why can I know all the cities of the world when I haven't met anyone yet? I could understand those of my neightbours (once I have them), but everybody's? Go placeholders, go!

Maybe a Star beside the cities name if its a Capital city.

Ya I agree with Wintersong. You need to find the neighbors first before you can build roads to them.
