the price regarding to the low bonus doesn't encourage such construction.

for exple : 2 fieldsproducing sorghum 4 times a day may give you 32 XP bonus a day (bonus 375 X1% = 4 xp/construction) after an intial cost of 13000 gold and 200 stone, not including the price of the seed. forget the stone, but with that gold, you can plant sorghum 118 times (13000/110), wich gives you a benefit of 18290 gold ((265 -110)X118), and 375 X 118 = 44250 XP. with the dirt road, you receive an xp "bonus" of 4X118 = 472. you'll have to wait a minimum of 14 days 18h to obtain that bonus ((118/2 fields) X 6h)), if you don't forget to plant your sorghum every 6 hour...

do you follow me ? saying it another way, if you build that road near your field, you will gain 7.5 hours every 15 days. sorghum yield 375 xp for 6h, that means 1.04 xp/min. so 472 xp/1.04 = 454 min = 7.5 hours. are you sure you can find the 13000 gold necessary in that time and be there every 6 hours to harvest/replant for the next half month ?

i'll keep driving on the grass (or sand)... and find another way to reach highest level !
