New and useful mechanics for unit management. Thanks, JCP, debeest and Smash!!

Is there method of predicting repeat commodity cities (city size, special resources present...)?? Is this game-long, or perhaps tied to a specific age or advance (eg pre-Industrial)?

Yes - after you deliver your caravan, click on the destination city. If it lists the commodity you just delivered, it is a repeat commodity. Usually hides or some such.

Predictability is one thing nobody has bothered to try to figure out.

However, some have discovered how to control which commodity is demanded in some circumstances. For example, a city with 2 of its 3 commodities already delivered (in ()s ) You can deliver the third. This takes up the third demand, but a fourth caravan (one of the first two? I don't recall the details) will free up that previous commodity again.

We english speakers first strip the hair and tan the skin, then send the resulting product to France.
