streets?

i dont know if this will be in game - havent seen it so far.. the possiblity to build streets between cities that allow a faster movement would be nice...this can also be an extremely tactical measure for war

I think you will have to build a caravan and a road will slowly appear (but i don't know how long it will take? - so far i've sent 2 caravans to the same city 20 turns ago, no road still, not even a small dirt one...)

they do build up a road.  although i haven't tested if its faster for armies to move on it or not.

Road is built with caravan traffic, units move faster along them.  It takes a long time right now to establish the road.  Road has two levels, dirt and paved.

Picture for fun:

problem is, if you look close enough you will see the roads passing right through buildings. on one of my games, it passed right through a house.

they also pass through the sides of mountains, walls and sometimes ground if it is not flat enough

 

edit: most of those issues can only be seen if you zoom in close

It'd be kinda cool if units had to move through a city (as in square by square) ... only at twice or triple the speed of normal.

That way, an especially large city could be ... like Stalingrad perhaps.
