Topic: Destroying roads

Couple of questions:

1) Is it worthwhile to remove a paved road to replace it with a shorter, straighter road? Eventually it would be paved too but is the half traffic for quite a time worthwhile? Only if the shorter road is half as long?

2) If a road has items on it or being carried along it when you remove it, are the carried or lieing items lost?

As for the disruption, it only lasts a few minutes, and all the goods are going to be delivered anyway

Wow, I expected the reverse. Suits me though, as I like to straighten roads, just was afraid to do it with those. I've figured out a good way to do it too, make a 2nd straighter road first then remove the crooked road.

2) If a road has items on it or being carried along it when you remove it, are the carried or lieing items lost?

the carrier, still carrying the item, goes back to a near flag, then to a warehouse. It brings the ware. So, none of them are lost.

If you remove a flag, on the other hand, then the wares on the flag are lost.

Thanks, that is what I suspected (pretty sure I saw guys off road carrying stuff but the graphics are pretty small on my laptop and my eyes are old now...)
