Road Movement

[tsmith7163]

Could someone point me to the road and railroad movement benefits/rules? I got the latest version 1-29 and I've passed the two faster road movement techs and it seems that I am only getting .41? and railroads don't seem much better? Is this right?

It does seem very off indeed. I have Masonry and Machinery researched and still my units will step off roads and take a shortcut through a field. Here's a screenshot:


My units exiting Corihuay and heading north will cut through the Wheat farm because it's faster for some reason. Roads provide the same basic Ancient-era road speed bonus despite researching two techs that claim to boost it.

You can see the exact movement cost if you use EUI and move your unit one grid through the road.
