Roads of Cair Andros

**Thurifer** · October 03, 2009, 02:14 PM

So is there any point of building paths and roads at Cair Andros? It's such a small province that I wouldn't think it would be of much use besides in helping trade...

It's a citadel near Mordor. That's use enough.

Yeah, paved roads significantly boosts trade, but otherwise it would be fairly useless to build roads there.

It could also mean the difference between an army from Cair Andros reaching their destination on time and almost on time.

No it couldn't...

You see, cair andros is an island. Meaning that roads don't even get built on it. So besides spending some excess money, roads are no use there.
And no, it doesn't help trade either.

Strange, I remember the trade was increased in the settlement details.

As far as I remember the road get's built, it is short though. Only some 5mm.

They appear visually. Do you mean that from the game engine's perspective there is no road?

I think that's what he is talking about. In that case, there is something wrong with your install.

**axnsan** · October 05, 2009, 04:32 AM

Strange. I never get a road. Nor bonuses.

I'm still on v1.0 if that's of any consequence. Maybe they were taken out in a later version?

Hmm I'd check but I dont think I can reload my Gondor 1.2 game anymore since I installed RR/RC.

**DeliCiousTZM** · October 05, 2009, 05:42 AM

even if its in an island making roads that lead there helps

its a castle, so not very good for trading, and it lies pretty close to mordor so trade routs from there wont relaly help either.
its just a good base to defend from incoming orcs, because with east and/or west osgiliath they cant attack u
