    Option 1 please, if I want them to follow a road I can always click on it. ;)

    See that's the thing - if we do an equal spacing grid thing they will absolutely not follow any roads whether you click on them or not, unless the road happens to be the shortest and most direct (theoretically) route.

    Also, such a system would still be imperfect (I don't think ToEE's pathfinding really can be more than 'sort of okay' at best), though the chances of running far afield would likely be much less.

    I understand completely, what I meant was;

    If I want them to follow a road or path I will manually click on each spot I want them to turn on as to mimic following the road.

    See how much easier my first response was. ;)
