Reply To: How does one make road intersections?
Flag placement is really important. generally, an item that needs to travel from point A to B will be carried along the route that has the fewest number of flags. So one long road between two distant flags will be considered a shorter route by the pathfinding than an equal road with many flags along it. But of course the many-road flag has a higher carrying capacity as more goods can be moved along it simultaneously. Imho this network management is secretly what the settlers games are all about.
