I hope goblins will (if they have access) use the tunnels for a siege or two.  :D

...I did that. It is because of me that happened. I made a kobold into roadkill on the highway, and scraped him up and took his stuff. That is my Fortress! That is Ontak Deler, The Arm of Steel!

I wonder if you can be a badass and put traps on the road or buildings to block the traffic. I'd like to make an impenatrable anti-trade wall and see if the entire economy gets f--ked up,

I would be honored.

I thought you couldn't trap roads?

Is it a bad sign that I purposefully deface masterwork engravings because I understand the importance of the throwing skill?

I can't wait until actual worldwide site-to-site economy is implemented, so that things like this can happen. Hopefully by then this will put you at war with the civ that uses the road(or not if you have some good negotiators at your fortress and pretend nothing happened), or maybe even two or three (even different races) if the road connects two or more civs.

I for one will be glad when I'll actually be able to use roads to help me navigate into settlements in adventurer mode.

Sure the game tells you which direction to take into town but it'd be nicer to, you know, follow the road.

Well, you can't trap a road tile. But nothing stops you from deconstructing the road and then building traps there. At least, I assume we'll be able to deconstruct roads made in world-gen.
