How can I bring the roads back?

1.4 comes with no roads in the Moria and Mountain fort regions. I want to fix it so roads exist in those regions again. Can someone tell in what file can these roads be fixed? It doesn't seem to be descr_regions.

Should be no problems making roads in mountain regions. If you want them at game start, edit descr_strat.

Roads are generated automatically, but only if there is enough room.
If you want to have visible roads in the MM, you would have to change the campaign map. This would also involve to test almost every tile in the MM (what I did for countless annoying hours and there still seems to be the one or another map that is hardly playable), just to see if the battle maps are playable.
Really not a job you would look forward to...

Yes, that is above my head... But the thing is, there used to be roads there up to 1.3.

Yes, but (nearly) the whole map got reworked in 1.4 and my impression is that the paths in the misty mountains got a lot smaller - so there will just not be enough room anymore.

Pity... Traversing that region is a royal pain.

Well they ARE mountains and not highways after all

mountains really high and flat like a sheet of paper at the same time.... ^^

If it were only the mountains themselves, but the omission affects the whole road network in the green areas of those regions as well, and even affects neighboring regions. Besides, they are supposed to be tunnel highways, not that the units are walking on top of the mountains. Another thing is that it hurts the OoMM faction, which is already pretty weak.
