[Chazar]

I do not think that a road-province as proposed by Gandalf would work as I intend, since then using the road would be independent of the length of the road. Consider a road on a wrap-around map which spans the world! With my proposal below, an army could just move twice as fast along the road, but is still limited in reach. This could make LightCav more interesting. Drawback is however that roads can only be intercepted by occupying to consecutive provinces...

I think I will try to make a small map out of that WizardKing pictures available on the web to give it a try...
