Building Road to Other Civilizatins

[nsotos]

While playing a game as Greece, I had my worker unit building a road from Corinth to Athens, when I inadvertantly built a road tile in Ottoman territory. It then connected that road to their city. First, I didn't even know this was possible, and second, do I receive any amount of gold and/or resources for this route. Can I delete the tile to the Ottoman and continue the road to Athens?

Not 100% sure how this works. From my observations it is clear that if you take over an enemy city that has roads in its territory (the roads used to belong to him) you will have to pay for those roads. You can easily check if the road inside the ottoman border costs you maintenance if you just count how many roads you have and then look at the maintenance cost. If there`s a difference of 1, it costs you nothing.

The road to the Turk's does nothing... though it may be handy if you decide to attack them later and taking that city, making it so you don't have to connect them later. As far as deleting the road, yes, you can do that. There's an option if you put a worker over a tile with a road there.

I've tried deleting that tile and the option doesn't appear as it would outside of the Turks' territory. It's a lengthy road and it's a waste of upkeep to have it running (for no reason).
