[.983 Bug?] Routing roads through enemy territory

from Elemental Forums

I have the tech to automatically build roads between towns.

I have towns on the north and east side of an approximately rectangular lake.  Magnar has a town on the south side of the lake.  I found a town on the west side of the lake, but instead of the automatic road being built between my town on the west and my town on the north, the road to the new town is routed through Magnar's town on the south.

Is that the way it's supposed to work?  Makes the road kind of useless.

Yeppers. Auto-roads still have much to be desired for.

Derek has mentioned that some fine tuning of the system was going to be looked at, time permiting.

Honestly, I think it's pretty low on their list. It doesn't cause crashes, and there is a way to manually build roads...if your lucky.

If you get to the One of the etch gives the benefit - roads to ouposts - I've daisychained a line of outposts to get a road to the town

 

Kinda cumbersome
