Silly roads

[belbel]

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

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

When i was playing today one of the roads went up a hill and had several trees growing out of the pavement.

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!

"And so the road was built there in 150 years with more than 5000 workers diing. And of course it is useless without mountain climbing equipment...The king who had this road built was named: King Richard V the Idiot"

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!
