Trade Route Calculations

[SamRiv]

Hey guys. I've been playing this game for several years, and not once have I ever noticed that my caravans increase trade permanently in my cities.

But now I've run into a problem. There seems to be no rhyme or reason as to how much extra trade is generated. Supply and demand and city distance dont seem to make one bit of difference. Could someone please tell me how the hell the game calculates how many extra arrows are produced?

Either reply directly to this thread or email me at SamuelRiv@yahoo.com

Thanks

Grasshopper, you have come to the right place!

In the CivII/Strategy forum you will find a thread titled something like "Caravan Delivery Payoff Formula," which contains everything you might want to know about the subject. It might have sunk below the first viewable page, but was active within the last 2 months or so.

isn't there a Great Library for that

Well, yes, but recently there has been trouble accessing the linked threads. IIRC, many were archived, and links need to be updated.

Fair enough!
