I'm just starting to get into this mod, and one of the first challenges I've had in trying to retrain myself is not automatically hitting R to build roads. This has been frustrating me, so I looked into how to make the game automatically build the most advanced route type available by simply pressing R.
I tried playing with the iHotKeyPriority tag in Civ4BuildInfos.xml, to no avail; the name of this tag is misleading, it is actually Boolean. Then I had a bright idea: I reversed the order of the eight route types in the XML file, so that BUILD_JUMPLANE is first and BUILD_TRACK is last. I also changed the hotkeys to R for all eight, rather than Shift-R for some, and changed iHotKeyPriority to 0 for all of them.
So far, it works like a charm. In my testing I've only gotten as far as being able to build paved roads (the third type available), and pressing R builds these instead of paths.
My apologies if this has been covered before; I searched this forum a bit and didn't find anything on this topic, and I thought the information was worth sharing.
