looks fine for me :)

ehm maybe i can come across again with my road-wishes :
It would be nice if there was some sort of communication-terrain (road, railways
tc) that should be treated in case of surrender as all other units (thus
allowing the population to sabotage their communications) this should also
apply when capturing an adverse town that is connected through a road with the
other towns of that side (this supposestht players are actually able also to
build roads)

BTW i just noted that when the move paths are calculated apperently roads do
not have a special preference... to avoid 1Hex the units in automatic move
chose a path alongside a road.... bit strange....
