Anybody have any specific tips on optimal use of roads, from what I can tell, because of the expense of roads, it's more important to plan your routes.
- build roads over hills and through forests and jungles instead of grasslands or plains if possible to minimize travel time for your units in those areas
- link cities first and foremost, the trade income usually pays the road maintenance
- build roads to your front lines to minimize travel time for reinforcements
- your workers can remove roads, use that to eliminate some costs due to roads that no longer serve a purpose(ie. an old war front line)
- Roman legions build roads, don't waste a worker on road construction if your playing as the romans unless all your legions are held up in combat.
Some additional questions about roads that maybe someone can answer
- Can you get open borders with another civ and destroy their economy by road spamming in their borders
- do roads linked to resources give any bonus or have any purpose
Feel free to add anything else you have learned about roads as well, they are a much more important mechanic in V than they where in any previous Civ from what I can tell.
