I try to get them to use the roads by hitting the R hot key or the road button,but they ignore my orders and go on a house leveling frenzy
.The little numb skulls just can't controll themselves when they reach a ville.I suppose they consider the houses suspect partisan dwellings and are punishing the inhabitants
Move by road it's a _modifier_ (settings) for movement order, not a order itself.
Select it, then select no formation or column formation and give a movement order.
