Road Building

"Roads were made for journeys not destinations."

- Confucius

Road Building is a form of Technology and Culture.

Description
Construction of easily passable roadways will improve trade and speed the movement of military forces. The road bed needs to be compacted and leveled, then a layer of small stones added to provide drainage, and finally large stones laid on top to provide a smooth surface for carriages and chariots. Walls, signposts, and guard horses should be placed along the road, and staging posts established to provide fresh horses for government officials.

Effects

 * Allows construction of roads from the settlement screen
 * Any intercity trade will be boosted by 20% if the two cities are connected by a road
