How can I trade with a distant civ whom I'm connected to by a harbor without fear that the sea trade route will be interrupted?
What is not clear to me is how the sea route interruption occurs. If an enemy civ or barbarian ship appears anywhere along the route is that enough to disrupt the trade or does that bad ship have to blockade a port for the trade to be dissolved? If the first part is true, then that means I need to blockade every enemy port along the sea route.. If the second part is true then I only need to blockade the port of the civ I am trading with.
I really think Civ3 is unrealistic for giving a penalty (no other civs will trade resources with you) to the human player if a sea (or land) trade route is disrupted by a third party civ.
