This feature recalls T1. It might make the game harder and cost more time but more strategic.

Combining with the feature 'automobiles must be imported' (http://forum.kalypsomedia.com/showthread.php?tid=9261), I think the game will be more harder but more strategic, how d'u think?

I absolutely agree with you. I would go further and say that roads should not be present on your island until later, so you start out more like you did in T1 and build your way up. Placing your islands first road should be a sense of acheivement.

Agreed, although I think dirt tracks or pavements/sidewalks or whatever you wanna call them should be instant and cheap while paved roads with road markings and stuff shouldn't really be present so early on, or only for major routes.

it would definatly make the game harder, there is no question about that. But that said, id rather see it as an option to turn on and off vrs thats the way the game is.

It would definatly take some updated coding

Well, because I LOVE to turn current ideas upside down... what about that you cannot build roads at all, instead, roads will appear where citizens walk a lot? You can build over roads, they will simply be forced to make another one. Pavement will appear depending on the status and/or beauty around the area the road is located so roads in the inner city will look more like a plaza/boulevard while roads around farms will look like dirt roads. This doesn't necessarily make the game more complicated, but at least it would appear as more organic.

@LeaT

This is also a good idea but if you are a strategic gamer, u'll prefer to control things by yourself, won't u?

roads are needed for game mechanics

but they should be builded up

also if they walk a lot, there should be some dirt roads which increase the pollution

plus different types of roads, cheaper, expensive, bigger, faster, one direction, doubble road, some "elite" teamsters should drive camions, so dirt roads should have deposits at end of the road, criminals could steal from it
