No roads in Syracuse

[MrT]

Hello everyone,
First of all sorry for being such a noob, I haven´t played M2TW in ages. Anyways gave your mod a try yesterday and I´m playing it with BGR IV Enhanced and am really enjoying myself. One thing in my Sicily campaign appears rather strange though. I cannot construct the improved roads in Syracuse. They are available in all other towns and castles and everyhing else seems correct in Syracuse. So I am wondering, what is this? A bug, something wrong with my installation, or an actual feature of the mods? Anyways great mod

MrT,
In Medieval times they did not spend much time in road building, so hence this has been reflected in SS, where only some territories, will have the ability to improve the road network. Sadly even with well constructed Roman roads, they were not maintained.
I played as Sicily recently and even with Palermo at Citadel level, I cannot remember improved roads

Ok thanks for the quick reply. Makes perfect sense actually, liking it. Any other such
features I should be aware of?

Well, you'll notice that the majority of towns won't ever reach the largest possible size. Only capitals, and a few select others (Milan are one) will be able to build huge walls.

MrT,
I cannot remember any other changes, like the one above. Having thought about it, yes River Ports, for Inland cities
Take a look at Rozanov beta above, no more settlements as castles, everything is a town/city, howevers lots of Stone Forts and building costs revised, about half price, to encourage AI to build

Ok thanks for the response guys. I love small details like this, really add to the feel of the game. Now let's see if I can get these sicilians to work
