New feature suggestion: "Tarmac roads" When industrial revolution is achieved with the factory base you could have the little humans build roads connecting the base to the higher resource extraction spots on the map. Then when they discover the car, they can use the roads to fetch resources faster. Also inspecting the roads could teach humans to look before crossing the roads, otherwise make so that they can be run over by the cars lol...
Yeah, but i think "real life" crossings are way too formal for the tone of the game (just my opinion of course =). I think it would be a better fit to just have the minions learn how to cross the road anywhere and if they don't know how to cross yet they can get run over by a car if they already know about it they should automatically stop before entering the road tile if there is a car coming (actually put in some margin of safety otherwise it will look as if they are robots going for it and crossing just in time in front of a car lol). But please don't make it "gore" if they get run over, just keep the current cartoony/non-explicit death animations I think they are perfect =)
