roads not needed to connect resources anymore?

You can see strategic resources on the top bar, and you can see luxury resources on the tool-tip to happiness.

is that happiness on a empire wide scale or do they have a city by city happiness report?

Covering every friggin' tile in Civ III/IV with roads was ridiculous, ugly, dumb, stupid, etc. Civ V fixes this and I love it.

I interpret the roads in Civ V more of like "highways"; roads are implied in the 2-movement for most units and roads are main traffic routes, like they should be.

There is no such thing as city by city happiness anymore, there is only the empire wide pool.

In my first game yesterday, I connected my resources with roads too, until I noticed that the AI wasn't doing it. Then I did my research.
