Well maintained roads are the sign of an advanced civilization, or one foolish enough to provide guides for raiders to follow.

There is no safety, there is only the road.

The pros and cons of roadsign teleportation were dscussed thoroughly, and the consequences were found to quite heavily outweigh the advantages. Moving vast distances in an instant should never be as trivial as it once was.

We also need some method of trading, the road concept is not cutting it. If we don't want to allow hearthlings to teleport everywhere, it's time to start talking some method of distance trading (aka mail). Hearthling magic it up, give it a cost, but we need it.

Travel bitches... Just fucking suck it up and travel. It's risky, it's dangerous, and that's what trade is and should be. An investment of time for valuable consideration.

Jorb already said that roads are going to have to cut it.

Adjust.

Not worth the risk and effort to trade with anyone beyond an hour travel. So trade just doesn't happen for the most part. This is adjusting playstyle to meet the current mechanics, as a result trade barely exists outside small amounts of local trading.

Roads would be fine, but they need improved protections. If I make a road, anyone can come around and destroy it with zero cost. No point building grand highways if they're so easy to destroy.

You could vclaim them and build walls on boths sides of the road

Although I wonder - if you build a wall around the small roadsign - does it stop you from travelling? Or would you have to obstruct the golden arrow location (that is chosen when erecting the sign, and which is used as waypoint when you follow the signs)?

Even if you do this there's no way to wall check since roads bypass the walking. And a ram without a wall check is basically free breech. We need a better system.

Well, the attacker has to build the ram and probably guard it a bit. If they succeed they get what? The road is broken for a moment, which can be easily fixed. A lot of effort for minor damage.
What would be the bigger problem is the fact attackers could place obstacles and hunt people who are pulled out of the hyperspace...
