I've had problems with building roads too. I'm not experienced enough to realize why yet though. However some kind of confirmation and some way of knowing that your build roads orders have gone through would be nice.

Yeah I've had this problem too. I don't think it's related to whether you start the road in one or both towns; I've had roads successfully build just starting them from one town, and I've had it work where I start the road from both towns. Usually seems like I get 2 or 3 roads successfully built, then "something" goes wrong, and I can't get any more roads to build from that point forward in the game. It lets me bring up the screen, pick a city, hit accept .. but no road ever gets built.

Almost all these issues about roads will easily fixed by using units to do the work.

I hope that workers or engineers will be included soon, and even "tunnelers" to make roads through mountains, to those zones that other way would be inaccessible (haven´t you seen that zones?). These tunnelers would not be available to all factions, but they could be taken as slaves for do the work.

There is an issue with road building in the beta.  It only builds to certain cities.  It has been fixed internally.

On there side ie their codes/builds it works. But they havent put out a patch for us yet... Come on let us try it.

Sorry, yeah...fixed internally for the next update

I think I heard somewhere tomorrow
