[BUG] Road is not building - FIXED

and a question.

I have 3 cities. And I have build roads City1<->City2 and City1<->City3. However, for some reasonI can not build road City2<->City3. I have initiated the road building in both cities at no success. May be it thinks that the cities are already connected?

By the way, what is the point of the roads? Just for movement speed?

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.

It seems like roads will only build from one direction between two towns...

Or that the road has to be started from BOTH towns to actually start building.

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.

My problem is, that roads will only be built if:

a) the pathfinding isn't too complicated

b) the target is city 1 (first city built). Sometimes when i want to build from city 2 -> city 3 I'll end up with city 2 -> city 1.

 

Concerning a): Once I had a message in the debug. err (sorry, forgot to save that particular one) which stated in a debug message, that the pathfinding was cancelled due to some complixity boundary reached.

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.

This has been reported many times already

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