    Default Silly roads

    Anyone else get it where roads don't meet up in certain places? Like in Cordoba, Sofia etc, where there is a big gap in the T-Junctions. I'm also thinking of Corinth, where the road actually goes over a bit of sea! It really ticks me off looking at it.

    What bugs me is on the battlemap where they go up mountains and on the sides of cliffs.

    My pet peeve is the two roads that link Tripoli and Alexandria; they keep cris-crossing each other.

    Yes, and where they just go up small hills they could easily go around.

    On the road from Toulouse to Marseille there's a little part that slopes downward... I don't think units get the road bonus on that part.

    I've seen roads on the battle map that are slanted upon a 45% slope with trees sticking out of it. Who would ever build such things, I do not know. You'd think the guys building the road would slide off.

    This is quite funny to image:-)

    -Yeah, I am the king so you gonna build the road here
    -But your majesty it is useless to build a road on a 60% slope of a mountain...maybe we should build stairs instead!
    -I see who is gonna lose his head today...
    -Consider it done majesty!

    Or rather, the king slid down the hill/side of the road and broke his neck upon trying to cut the ribbon.

    It takes the Crusaders roughly 4 months or so to march from parts of France to Constantinople, in the game it takes several years!
