Mechanics of building roads
I have a commander with road building ability. I'm sitting in my own territory, and I press the "road" button. Next turn, no road has been built.
So what is the method of making this happen?

Generally it builds the road on the existing turn, not the following turn. Does the tile you're on have a road already? Just in case it's not clear, the process is (for a unit w/RoadBuilding ability)
1) Move to a tile without a road
2) Click "Build Road" (this does not consume a turn)
3) Move to the next tile where you'd like a road, etc.
I've found that sometimes it won't build a road if you have 0 movement points left (even though it doesn't consume any movement points) - but it's not consistent. Usually you can build even after using all your moves.
What would be really nice would be a mechanism to direct a unit to build a road from point A to point B...but I'm not aware of any such functionality in the game.
