    "Here's the deal. Roads are tiles like any other. Like all the other tiles, they can be painted down quickly and easily. Just select 'road' and drag it across grass. All of the grass tiles automatically get replaced with road tiles that match up with each other in a logical fashion.

    As for the ability to paint diagonally, we don't have time to include the necessary tiles in the initial release. Maybe in an expansion. In many ways, though, we've been finding that, while we miss diagonals when in the zoomed out view of the toolset, it doesn't seem like such a big factor once you're actually in-game. The artists have done a great job with the tile variations and have included designed a lot of organic shapes into the system. Many of the buildings and features are subtly skewed within their square tile. Also, with the ability to rotate your camera, you don't feel as gridlocked as you do with tile-based 2D games."
