Enter region on road
« on: July 14, 2008, 11:28:05 am »

In a similar vein to the way you can (in adventurer mode) enter a region and zoom straight to creatures or towns, it would probably be a good idea to be able to zoom straight to roads running through the region.

They do seem likely to become a rather significant part of the terrain.

I was a little disappointed when I followed the roads, looking for wolves and other animals to sharpen my sword on, that they only ever attacked me in the middle of wilderness. Didn't feel like the roads made much difference.

My stray dogs often chase fire imps back into the magma pipe and then continue fighting while burning and drowning in the lava. Truly their loyalty knows no bounds, but perhaps it should.

Roads are there for the future structure of the Army Arc: While it's easy for a single traveler to cross-country march for miles, an Army will slow significantly when off-roading. Also, caravans like to travel on nice smooth, wolfless roads instead of having to climb directly over trees and such.
