[1.07] The long road to nowhere...

Lately, many of the games that I have started have had these massively long roads that don't connect to anything. For example I attached a savegame. If you head the sov to the south west, you will find one end of the road. If you continue, you will find that it stretches for MILES. I never ever saw anything like that in 1.06, and am wondering if this is a bug. I tried to ask around if anyone else had seen this. I did install the "Bugfix" mod, but I didn't see anything in there that should affect road placements at all.

I ran into a similar road in one game, I followed it for a fair distance and didn't notice that it was connected to anything (though it did pass an Empire in one direction)

I attached a screenshot, note that I first located it on turn 4, so it was far too soon for anyone to get the tech, let alone for the caravan to travel that far.  I am running a game without any mods (except for my custom Faction/Sovereign).

I always thought that was supposed to be a pre-cataclysm remnant, or sprung up since; always seemed kind of cool (and useful!) when I ran into one:-)

Hello to everyone. First post here in your forum. |-)   (Sry, about my english! I´m german. Ok, many germans speak and write good english. Not me.  ;) But i´ll give my very best. :grin: )

 

I´ll make it short. Got this road on every new Map. One time i followed it for many turns. It conected two citys from different fractions. The distance between the two city was about 20/25 turns for my sovereign. It disturbs the atmoshere. I mean...cataclysm, broken land and then there is a big long road. ^^

It would be kinda cool, if it is actually was pre-cataclysm leftover.

I mean, we have Lost Libraries, old Growth Forests, why not some old roads too.

Some short Roads would be ok. But...these are trading routes or rather these roads look like caravan-routes to me.

I love this in the new patch. It is awesome. Also spices up the strategic choices a bit.

I've seen these since 1.05.  They may have been in earlier versions but I couldn't play without crashing very frequently so I started over a lot.

 

They don't connect to anything, no, but they usually allow decent speed exploration on larger maps.
