Do you think the world map needs more features - like roads?

Yeah, backed this in other posts. Roads would be an excellent addition, both from an aesthetic view but also improved and immersive game play.
I agree 100%
If i might add
Ships/boats in port cities and fishing villages, it doesn't have to include sea battles, just for transportation. It could be just for the player even if it is too complex.

Clearly visible roads between some of the major cities would make a LOT of sense, along with a small speed bonus for moving on the road.
I do NOT want to see "roads" implemented in the same manner as in previous M&B titles, where there was a network of invisible movement paths that the game practically forced your army to follow if you got anywhere near one. In far too many cases (especially in Warband), the movement grids went directly through the middle of patches of woods which would have been trivial to go around, slowing you down instead of making travel faster. The only viable solution to avoid them was to click REALLY close to your unit, otherwise it would often default to moving to the grid before moving in the direction you indicated.
In a few drastic cases in both original M&B and in Warband, my army moved well over 90 degrees from the direction chosen in order to reach a grid line (invisible road), and I recall at least twice (one of those times on the visible road near Praven in the original game) where my attempts to flee a much larger army were thwarted when my army turned back directly into the chasing unit in order to reach a road behind them. I also had one case where I could click a spot and have the unit move 90 degrees away from it along a visible road, click again and the unit would do a 180 degree turn and go the other way along the road. After several reversals and no actual forward progress, I had to click about the width of the unit icon away from it in order to get it to move off the road. Clicking too far from the unit caused it to turn around and go back to the road.
Roads should:
1) be VISIBLE.
2) speed movement slightly. negating terrain penalties.
3) not draw in units that are in the general area but not particularly close.
Done right, they're a big improvement. Done like in the previous games, they're nothing but an annoyance. Sorry, but none of the poll responses really fit my opinion.

Yes i also dont understand why M&B in general lacks roads.
And payed ship routes for traveling/trading and ofc the ownership of your own ship/boat like in Viking Conquest.
The campaign map needs some love for sure, we need things like ruins, caves, and hunting grounds like Viking Conquest had.
Do they boost speed? I am here because it was in the top suggestion list. Instead of creating another thread, i thought it would be better to support existing ones
They don't boost speed.
Shame :/ thanks!

The map in CE is brilliant. I think I'll struggle if I have to go back to Vanilla at some point

I honestly think I'd stop playing if that mod dies.
Castles and towns should be able to block passage and require to be taken in order for an army to proceed past it
