roads

[brother52]

I've only just started playing after years of CIV2

I take it roads only give a movement advantage, no commerce.

When placing a road on a tile which already has some other improvement on it, eg a farm the reported new stats for the tile look like the farm is being ignored or downgraded but if I place the road first and then the farm the stats for food are the same as if the road is not there, any ideas or is it just that I shouldn't play this late?

Roads (and Railroads & Maglevs) are just for travel, not gold.

I don't think it makes any difference in what order improvements are placed (assuming that one doesn't destroy the other). Are you sure the Farm was completed when you checked the stats?

I don't know about that, I managed to destroy roads with the farm improvement (the lowest variant) but not with advanced farm, railroads seams to stay put when using tile improvements over them.

I have not experienced the opposite that road/rail destroy (or inhibit) tile improvements (yet).
