Did I miss something? Pre-cataclysm roads? (1.09n)

from Elemental Forums

So I am exploring a large map in the new beta and around turn 15 I run into a rather large road system that could not have possibly been built in 15 turns. I know I stopped playing while waiting for this beta, but I don't remember there being any roads already on any of the maps when you start a game. So am I that far out of the loop or is this something new? By the way, it adds to the flavor of the game by having such things, and I do think it is pretty cool.

It's been in there from the start on big maps.

Yes, in several of my 109e games i found already made road networks.  Some ended "nowhere."  So what you are seeing in the beta (109n0 is a holdover from 109e, (perhaps modified by 109n).

Wow, I guess I put down the game for too long and Alzheimer's kicked in. I've been playing since beta 1 and don't remember any premade road networks in any of my games (which were almost always on large maps). Ah well, thanks for the timely responses.
