Hy,
It looks like rules forbit that when 2 roads are deployed there is a cross, Am I right or wrong ? can You tell me the ratio of the rule ? crossroad are quite interesting elements in table and I'd like to have them

Even more peculiar It's the rule in presence of village: both roads must touch it but witout crossing each other

What do you think about this ?

Hi Matteo,

I'm not a "Road Expert" but I can't see where it implies that roads can't cross. Indeed on page 180 it states that roads are one of the terrain features that can go within 4" of each other. I agree that if there is a village, then all roads must touch or go through the village.

Where do you get they can't cross?

Within 4" but no over
Rules state that roads can pass over village and no other kind of elements (so no road).
I'd like an errata that rewrite rules so that roads con pass over village and other roads.

I see your point, but I've never read it that way. In one sense crossroads are breaching the "but (for aesthetic reasons) not through other terrain pieces" (p180 2nd bullet) by going 'through' another road... but I don't think that would be the intent of the rules. If I was playing you and you wanted to put down two roads which happened to intersect, I would have no problem with it (indeed, I'd probably not even think it was a breach), unless I felt that you were trying to get some unfair advantage by some kind of cheese you'd worked out (not suggesting you have, just suggesting that sometimes people do).

I agree with you but an errata will fix it (even good rules can be improved)
