CS Road Quest and Iroquois

[RedRover57]

So it appears that City States don't recognize the Iroquois UA (forests/jungle within city limits act like roads) when it comes to the quest to connect a road between them and your capitol? I connected the CS to one of my satellite cities via roads, but my satellite city was trade routed to my capitol at least in part by forests/jungles and the quest did not complete. So I guess I would need to connect all the way to the capitol via roads, defeating the purpose of the UA. It seems like this is something that should be looked at in a future patch.

This is post-March patch? The road quest was always a problem before.

And still is as far as i know, I believe people are still not getting this quest to work right after latest patch. I never try to do these so I can't tell ya 1st hand.

This is the first time I have had this quest since the patch, so I am not sure if it is just a problem with the CS recognizing the Iroquois UA or a more general issue. Unfortunately, I have several CS allies that want roads connected in this game.

First: The road to CS quest works fine (nowadays) for all civs as long as you use the normal trade routes (roads, etc).

Then: I have never played Iroquois so I don't know if it has ever worked with their special "forest roads". Personally I have not so much problem with it since the people of the particular CS (those that wanted the road and I guess will use it to visit you) don't understand your strange forest ways.

Bug or feature, I don't know. If someone say that it is a feature I would say "sure, okey" but if it is a bug then "cool, put it on the list".

I was thinking that too. The forests as roads ability is unique to the Iroquois people, so people from other Civs (City states are considered Civs) wouldn't be able to use forests in the same way, so it kinda' makes sense that they'd want an actual road. To the Iroquois, a road leading to a forest is just one long road, but to the people of Tyre, Almaty or Belgrade, a road leading to a forest is a dead end.

It may well be intended. However, there is another issue with the Iroquois UA where if you have a forest tile adjacent to a river then you need to put a road down on the forest anyway in order to build a bridge over the river. So the UA is not really that attractive, all things considered.

I have this problem with it myself, and usually end up creating trade routes via roads anyway, as I want the fast movement, that said, at least it does work when it's forest both sides of the river.

It should just use bridges when you get the tech for them, sucks that it doesn't.

*bump*
I've also had this problem recently where a city state didn't recognize my completion of road quest when I used his UA but after slapping down roads it completed. Is there any way to use his UA to try to complete this quest?

I find it lame that you can't use Hiawatha UA to complete this quest and if there's a mod to fix this bug, could someone post the name of it?

I believe the forest only acts as a road in iroquois territory.

 

[ezbutton]

I am well aware of that and built roads on tiles I did not own to try to finish this quest it wasn't until I built the 5 tile road on my jungle/forest road between my cap and city when the quest completed.

 

[joncnunn]

I think your only work around is build the road in those forest tiles your own network is using to complete the quest and then remove those roads in forest tiles immediately afterwards.

For that matter, if your really mean you can disconnect the road leading to the CS as well.

 

[Rex_Mundi]

It may be deliberate. After all the city states merchants can't use the road to get to your cities before it is there.
Only Iroquois merchants can use the forrests as roads.

Still this is undocumented, and may just be my excuse.

 

[Horizons]

If this is deliberate then it means the Iroquois have a sub-par UA.

 

[Moodtastic]

It is sub par anyway
