Roads on Islands

[Silent Assassin]

I have always wondered about this

Do you guys think that it helps your income has you are on an Island???? Even if it gives you like an inch of road between your city and your port??

when you queue it and then look into settlement details you can see that it adds some income but not very much.

That is what I tought but I wanted to hear other members opinions.

Thanks for the reply

"Other members?". What are you on about? colin666 gave you an answer and you just ignore it!

[Double A]

He aknowlaged it, but he means more than 1 I believe.

Sure, go nuts. They only cost 100 florins.

Alex like Double said, I didn't ignore him on the contrary, I just wanted more opinion/suggestions comments from more than just one. He's answer was correct...

BTW why are you always on my back!!!

Curious to know whether you actually don't get any sea trade if you don't connect the port with a road. Anyone seen this?

[Surgeon]

You do get a small bonus because the road connects the settlement to the port, but it's certainly not as big a bonus as on settlements which get connected to neighboring regions.

[Double A]

Just do it cause it'll save MP when using them for that one time after you conquer the place (and make a garrison).

They'll probably eventually pay for themselves.

it makes sense having a road woud make it easier to get the goods to the port to ship overseas

To build paved roads in Dublin... now THAT is a waste of money.... u only get like 20 fl per turn extra...

It all adds up.

[Yojimbo]

It all adds up.

it woudl take many many turns for that to turn a profit.

Well with a 1 turn construction time and 200 florins cost, you can make it profatible in no time.

1 turn and 400 yes. but still... u could've also build roads somewhere else, wich will earn you more $. besides I was talking about paved roads. they are take 3 turns to build and cost 1200...

[eggthief]

Ah well.... I can't stand not improving my infrastructure when I do have the money for it.

ah I agree... I hate to have large cities without a decent infastructure of fairgrounds, schools, art studio's, etc.

[Mikiez]

roads on islands are my last priorities, behind brothels and peasants...

[Bowden]

Ofcourse. In stead of ploughing through high grass or even forests or deserts, the goodies coming off ships can now travel way faster over a (dirt) road, saving time. As you know, time is money.

you sir, are incorrect.
if time is money then it would be the same as money is time... but money ain't gonna buy you time!
