Maybe we can include three road types. The first is the normal movement of +1, the second roads provide +2 movement and the third provides +3. Then we don't use the +1 movement provided by a tech (like construction in BtS). I can only think now of two names now: dirt roads, paved roads and one other.

Yes, they do have different movement rates. You build over them again like with roads to railroads.
What do you mean we have to "remove the tracks anyway"? Do you mean the word or just building over them?
We could have Wagon Trail, Road (Dirt Road), Paved Road.

Those are three good names. Yes I meant railroads although they are already out of FFH2 so no problem there (my mistake). That was what I meant that you have to build over them to upgrade them, but that the added value is faster movement with each upgrade (so the third one is +3 movement on the paved road).

Sounds good to me. I like it.
Just stumbled on this thread - yes, there's different graphics for the routes. In Rise of Mankind 2.61 I used Tholish's Plenty of Routes graphics mod, though I had to do some changes to xml to allow the route types to be shown always correctly (later eras no longer change them).
Here's pic of the route types in Rise of Mankind:

These look good zappara, thanks for telling us this. This will save us a lot of searching

So we can agree on these 3 types of roads then?
- Carth Paths (2 moves)
- Road (3 moves)
- Paved Road (4 moves)

That is what I am thinking.
Yes, I agree.
Yes, I agree.
If you need to know what movement values in xml you'll have to use for those movement rates, it goes like this:
In gamedefines.xml there's one movement value set 60. This is the base value which is used in other movement calculation. No need to change this if you use small movement values.
So for Cart path the value needs to be 30 in route xml file ie. 60/30 = 2 moves
Road is 20 ie. 60/20 = 30 and for Paved Road it's 15, ie. 60/15 = 4.
Now if you want to add extra moves from techs for example to Paved Road, you'll have to reduce movement by 3 ie. 60/(15-3) = 60/12 = 5. If you use some other values and the calculation result isn't integer value, the game will crash.
That could have used a more elegant solution (on Firaxis side). Thanks for the info though.

I believe this person found a way to get rid of that annoying victory tag after you win a game. Check it out and let me know if it works. If so, I think it sould be incorporated into the Mod.

Another thought that I don't think has come up. Do we want Cultural Flipping of cities enabled in this Mod. I am thinking no myself. That isn't something that feels right for this.

To be able to see what the city is like before you choose to keep it or not. This would be a great addition to the game.
