Ability to delete road

[brty941]

Basically the title. I've been in situations where I accidentally built a road, left an army on road building and gave it to the ai to manage, or just find the roads in Anatolia undesired and would be stuck with them. Just a QoL feature

I plan roads by myself, hit shift and let them do their thing

I do not think there was an active legion dismantling roads. I like the empire building thing but I do not want City Skylines type of management. Roads built should stay until they decay because of lack of maintenance.

I did once a suggestion about roads maintenance, where I argued that roads without maintenance will disappear after 50 years. However, this is not what the OP demands. If the player wants to dismantle a road, a legion should be used to do it but it will be quite anachronistic IMHO, maybe someone can prove me wrong.

I do not think they really dismantled them,
when people stopped using them for a reason or another they were reclaimed by nature and disappeared swallowed by the soil. Or the rocks were recycled for building construction.
Some roman roads remained in use and are very well preserved, like the Appian Way

Appian Way - Wikipedia

Basically, people's constant walking kept them (mostly) free from plant growth and mud.
It helped the fact roman roads were VERY well designed.

we need this ability. if we can build road why we can't destroy it?

Why not simply having the "build road" option automatically deactivated once the legion has finished the movement ordered by the player?
