Road Building

[DeletedUser1685]

I would like more building options in this building game.

Not the current city roads we have now.

A map of roads from tile to tile, and each road having levels, perhaps 8 levels of differing quality roads.

Each level of road would allow you certain advantages. Perhaps 1% more health per level of road when fighting in that tile. Or trade advantages?

Perhaps having roads built to other players would allow players to automate trades between cities that would occur daily without needing player input. Like a standing order.

You might need others to help get your road to level 8. For each Age you are at you might be able to build up to that level in roads, but would need others to help beyond that.

The Romans were renowned road builders, we should be too, so we can get roaming.

We already upgrade roads/streets and get increased culture , though at a cost.

Do you mean roads on the world map? If yes, you'll have to explain in more detail what your idea is, because at first glance it doesn't seem like something that fits the game.

Yep. A map overlay of the world that shows roads that have been built. You build roads from your city to other map tiles. Roads that go through tournament tiles help reduce cost of catering or increase troop effectiveness. Roads help trade as well, you may get chances for travelling merchants to visit, you may get trade deal opportunities to buy troops, or buildings, that are not normally tradeable, and so on.

Here could be a breakdown...

Amount of of road tiles you are connected to counts up to 255.
The total levels of the road tiles counts up to 255 x 8.
Those two figures effect the chance of trade opportunities or other rewards.

Level 1 Road tile takes 10,000 gold, 1250 supplies and 1 day to create
...
Level 8 Road tile takes 100,000 gold, 12500 supplies and 10 days to create

For example each level of road will help your troops health by 1% if for example they fight on that tile during a tournament.

Only one tile can be worked on at a time

That's a rough outline, fairly simple, but gives something more for builders to do.

Aha ! Now I understand. Good idea.
