Can't demolish roads in MP?
I came here trying to find a solution to my issue in MP with not being able to remove starter roads and anything I've made a mistake on.

This doesn't appear to be a bug, but a feature. In MP there is what appears to be a zone of control around your Palace. Roads inside it you can demolish, roads outside you can't. But you can demolish anything else you've built outside that zone. The easiest way to see this zone of control is to select the build a house tool in an MP game. It will show you the zone of control in green, and anything outside it in grey. Any roads in this grey area you can't demolish.

I get that this feature is to keep us from deleting other players roads in MP, but as it's designed currently it's confusing to players and too restrictive. There are two real problems with this feature. First, the zone is very small, and there's no clearly defined way to extend it. Secondly, the build road tool doesn't show you the zone! Roads are the ONLY item I've found that is affected by this zone of control, and yet you don't get the grid overlay telling you that hey, it might not be a good idea to build past this zone.

A few simple suggestions for any future update. Please add the zone of control overlay to the road building tool for MP. Please double the starter zone of control for the palace, as it's way to small. It appears to be around a dozen squares around the palace at start, two dozen would be a lot better. And finally maybe add a tip in the descriptive text of each building that can affect/extend this zone.

To the last point, does anyone know which buildings/methods/how to extend this zone?
