    I think "biuld" includes "paved" but I might be wrong. Where I read about it it said that it was biuld in 312 B.C.

    It was, which is why I gave Rome and Capua paved roads via the descr_strat file.

    Should they just be paved roads or highways?

    Well, they're quite large, and obviously high quality, seeing that they've lasted over 2000 years...but for gameplay reasons I only give them paved roads.

    It's back to the question of: Athens had big walls, why shouldn't they have the largest ones at the start? Why shouldn't Sparta be able to recruit spartans at the start? etc. It's a game and we do have to have some "building" elements or it would get way too boring way too quick we think.

    I hardly think that giving Rome paved roads would ruin the game.

    Well, give 'em paved roads, then.

    As for me, I am with the team on this one. I have played mods like SPQR that focus on giving you the largest possible battles in the largest possible quantity, but no, that was not for me, I require a certain period of economic build-up to make my game fun.

    Yeah, but its unfair to give one faction 'what they had in 272' and not the others.

    A concept very hard to grasp for some apparently....but blatantly obvious and necessary. I fail to understand why so many don't understand.

    Heh, that sentence was redundant, but you get my point...

    Why does Carthage get paved roads at the start when Rome doesn't, is it more a way to improve their trading prowess than saying they had paved roads at that time period? Although to be honest I'm not sure whether they had paved roads or not.
