I'll try to look into that. Another thing about roads that bothers me is
where I grew up (England) the Romans were always mentioned as the great
road-builders. Do puny pre-Roman roads really count for much on the Civ
scale? Would the Roman roads have to count as Superhighways or something
to account for their purported great innovativeness and power/utility? Or
is this just English myth that doesnt reflect the reality of roads and
just admires the Romans excessively?
