Road construction?

[Beorn]

Very early game, I go to build a road and repeatedly get a message "Dirt Road Construction Mode: No connection to SHQ found."

This makes no sense to me, I am branching off the main existing road very near my SHQ.

You can't build a road through hexes that were just added to your territory this turn.

Thanks, good to know this. But I don't think it explains my problem because these hexes had not been added the previous turn. I had already extended further east and was not getting sufficient supply. I was also getting an unexpected message that I had promised to hold a particular hex/town (news to me) and that I might need a road near it. This was all murky to me, but I figured I'd build a road.

Beorn can you post a screenshot of the situation somewhere and link us to it?

Here I plot the road:

And here is what pops up immediately:

No road, and error message in bottom right

You don't have enough Industrial Points by the looks of it.

Sometimes you need to click on the hex with the SHQ or a road connected to it first, rather than in the adjacent hex. At least that's the issue I had.

Ah, so it's just that the error message is misleading, but there really is a reason why it can't be built. Thanks!
