here is the exact interpretation of the roads rule.

In a network only the longest road count.
(if there are more than one road in the network, still just the longest counts).

so, for the tactics: don't connect two sepreated roads (that would each count) to a network otherwise only the longest counts (and you'll loose points by that).

Thank you for the clarification.

In my games we never got to a situation where this rule would be necessary since we usually block another player's road if it gets too long, or typically just block any attempt if it also suits us.

And for those who never noticed before, you score EACH and EVERY chain that is at least 4 houses long. Not just the biggest one...

Come to think of it...

What is the purpose of the rule that says "a house cannot be counted twice"?

It appears that this rule is only relevant if branches CAN be counted. Otherwise, a house can only be counted once whatever the case.
