Haha, oh shit. I actually hadn't realized that sounded mean, I meant that entirely genuinely. I think traveling merchants would be cool but just really impractical.

We actually implemented road-travel just the other day. So far it's very similar to what Potjeh initially proposed, in that milestones simply give you the option to fast-travel to the other end of the road, given that there are no obstacles on the way. If there are, you'll be stopped there. (It's not entirely complete yet however, as we haven't yet decided exactly what to do with travel-weariness.)

I never really paid attention to travel weariness.

Out of curiosity: will it be possible to use those roads to travel between different layers? And are they exclusive to the surface? And how will we cross rivers with them (or won't they count as obstacles)?

They won't be exclusive to the surface, but I doubt a single trail will be able to cross layers. That's not a greater problem than having to make a stopover, of course.

I don't think we're entirely decided on that, but the probable way we'll go is to make it possible to cross rivers with them, but at a fairly steep cost in the resulting travel-weariness.

Highwaymen putting boulders on roads confirmed.

Just having a travel speed buff when on roads would be a million times more elegant than this "teleport down the road" crap.
