Triggerless Roads
From AgeofWiki
A simple way to make "roads" with AOE2.
Step 1: Have a villager lay down the foundation for a farm.
Do not let him/her construct the farm even a smidgeon, or this trick will not have quite the desired effect.
Step 2: Destroy the farm base.
This produces a 3x3 patch of dirt2 (which is what you want).
Repeat until you have a long trail of dirt 2 from farm foundations.
NOTE:If you should happen to build a farm, delete it anyway and lay the foundation for a palisade or other building there. DO NOT BUILD THAT FOUNDATION EITHER.
(May I really gotta prvide pictures.) :p
