Great!

Okay, I'll bite. What's the point and what does it have to do with building roads?

I'm somewhat curious this has to building roads myself. However, in regards to your initial production lists, I have to seriously disagree with your granary placement. Depending on your start location, it might be better build it much sooner, especially if you can make a four turn Settler factory.

Read here for what I consider definitive starting sequences...

That's alot of workers so early. Im guessing that many workers could really build some roads.

"10-20 workers" Holy %$&^

I would definately build granaries a little earlier.

Having another city instead of a granary doubles my expansion capabilities.

BTW i put my tech rate at 20% at start then lower it at 10% until i have 10+ cities with library

Having a vast forest near you helps a lot for raising your city's production

My city placement looks like this

9: city 0: capital territory o: secondary territory -: empty
