City supply/demand

[Eivind IV]

Sometimes city supplies reappear after it has been exhausted. What determines when supplies reappear? It seems very random, as I can't see anything verifiable. I think I have sometimes seen supplies reappar if someone trades with that city, but then again, some testing just now just falsified it.

Has anyone done any research on this field?

I think there was a detailed study on that topic over there on the Civ2 General/Help forum!

Edit: just saw that you have been posting there too!

So I had to provide more information!

Thanks, read through the page, but could not make up what determines when supplies reappar again after beeing exhausted. No one has a simple answer for this?
