Improved Road Building

This mod, based upon the fantastic "Build Roads Better", has been updated to the latest version of Imperator Rome (Marius 2.2).

So what does it do? In it, a new button called "Build Roads" is sited in the Tactical tab (on the lower left) in the province interface. If you have the money, you can click the new button, whereupon the province will construct a road network linking it to ALL of its neighbouring provinces (which costs 50 denarii per province). This saves you the hassle of linking everything up with armies, crisscrossing your vast empires again and again, ad nauseam.

It also has a brief -10% tax malus while construction is underway, but afterwards the province will have a permanent 10% supply limit bonus. Said modifiers work fine, and will appear alongside the other modifiers already in the base game (Procurators, Expanded Infrastructure, Expanded Trading Routes etc.).

Players can still build military roads if required; they remain unaffected by this mod.

Pre-existing roads ingame will not have the bonus to their supply limit; however simply clicking the Build Roads option for that province should fix that (-50 denarii of course).

NOTE: In order for the road to physically appear in-game, a road must be built in two connecting provinces (e.g. Rome and Lavinium). Otherwise, the road won't appear on its own (I think this is a game limitation, seen in the original game).

PS: As of 15/03/21, this mod is now fully compatible with Better UI; for those of you who don't use Better UI this mod will still work without any issues. To work with Better UI, place this mod BEFORE Better UI in the Mod Launcher.

Tested on Marius (2.2) and both with/without Better UI (2.0). Please feel free to give feedback, and thank "uhhhhhhhhh", the original creator of the mod!
