Tree Sprouting vs Roads

[Granger]

What would a rework look like? Would we still have to place milestones after the endpoints? Or would the paving itself serve as the milestones once the endpoint is built?

Here is my suggestion (be it with removing Teleportation or keeping it, would work in both cases) on how to change the mechanics so roads give the incentive to reuse existing ones (and make them useable for fast travel even when you can't access the endpoint).

Can't really pave roads, you'll be destroying vines 24/7 trying to maintain the roads. I like the teleportation system of roads and crossroads and have been around ever since the beginning. Having people follow roads will kill the combat scene in my opinion. You'll just have people running in their bases or making pocket security locations across the world until their villagers can save them.

what if you made it a 3 tile wide path so the hearthling could move around obstacles. that way one stockpile wouldnt stop you but 3 stockpiles would

Good to see the forum is still the same years later, thank you for this amazing addition to the conversation and your brilliant suggestions gentlemen.

Easy - make trees teleportable through via roads

Can't really pave road...

If I recall correctly, Itworkss' idea includes stopping vines from growing if both ends of the road have claimed signposts/milestones. If that were possible, and they did it, then the paving itself could serve as the "intermediary" signposts/milestones instead of having to erect intermediaries as we do now.

I'd like paved roads just to see the whole world paved tbh

Maybe paving roads wouldn't be a huge trouble if plowing forest tiles wasn't as energy-consuming as today. Some different plows (attach plow to an ox to automatically plow 3 tiles?) would really improve the current state of paved roads.

And also, make it so that walking on paved tiles, or teleporting across them, removes some of the vines, so that the least used roads get reclaimed by nature as it is IRL.
