Moving roads up in tech tree?

All roads lead to Rome

But not until tech level 15

I didn't like that idea, so I just made an extremely simple change to the construction technology file. Just download and replace yours with mine.

This file will make roads a level five technology, which still is historically inaccurate, but slightly more realistic.

I know, pretty lame for a first mod, but a lot of people have been complaining and not just doing it, so I decided to

Well done for taking the initiative. ;-)

I was just wondering whether really this was as ahistorical as people think. The tech allows you to build roads anywhere. Were developed roads really that widespread in the 3rd century BC?

Well, apparently at the Roman peak, there were 54,000 miles of road throughout Rome, but I see what you're saying.

There isn't a way to modify tech for one nation and not another, right? Or to impose build limits on certain buildings?

I suppose you could modify certain provinces to not allow roads, such as the central Europe area?
