If anyone is concerned they should play a mapping character now to figure out which way te roads run. That feature was added a long time ago and I have yet to see a map with it.

Check the Pok/K.D.S Island, I've scene a couple there, one for Seatown Road, Pok Road and a few others on maps. Why aren't the paths labelled?

I think that buildings should be dynamicly named too...

yeah, there's been talk of doing that eventually. i think it's a good idea also... but something would have to get worked out with signs and then you also should be able to remove signs, which gets into more general destruction projects which are important also and then the extension of this would be automatic destruction over time which is item deterioration... you people in the programming department better get to work! jk... all in good time.

I don't think dynamic naming will be as much of a problem as some of you guys think:

1) someone already remarked that most places will keep their name anyway ... only in some exceptional cases, or after a regime change or something, will people decide to change their name.

2) dynamic naming will not be introduced before signs - hence, names will be visible, but can be changed

It really is a bit comparable to real life states changing their names - it's something that rarely happens and it doesn't lead to huge disasters either.

About the road names: there are two reasons for not having road names on newer islands:

1) I was expecting to introduce dynamic naming soon enough anyway;
2) It is a very tedious job to create roads with names and a very boring activity, while now putting in roads takes me only a little bit of time.

while talking about roads...is it possible to build new roads? like at the moment you have to travel through all these little areas to get from one city to another. Is it going to be possible to directly connect cities?
