Or only marginally in later eras, not considering the rough terrain bypassing, which I see more or less marginal for now.
If roads would dramatically improve movement, then one would consider more strongly to set up internal trade routes and change them often. But then, they would prompt too rarely to my taste.
Roads were very important strategically in previous civs, that's why we could build them on the fly with workers. Now that they are not that so important, they are done by marginal traders. A good way to reinforce the role of trade ? Maybe, but not when the benefits of roads are so marginal themselves.
How you guys see how roads should behave, and how would you set their system up ?
