[NOT A BUG] [1.0.1.551] road movement cost does not apply in enemy territory

[chrin67]

Bonjour,
it seems that the roads in an enemy territory are ignored when moving. Is it by design or simply a bug?

see ex. below:
I'm at war with Japan and have open boarders with Rom. The Chu-Ko-Nu cannot withdraw on the road as far as one could expect.

by design.
This was the case in civ4 too. (and probably before, but I cannot remember for sure)

merci.

You can use a road if it is:

- On your territory.
- On someone's territory, if you opened borders with him/her.
- On neutral territory.

You can't use a road if it is on enemy territory (you'll move like if there is no road).

In conclusion: it's not a bug.
