Trade ships and caravan units?

  • Wouldn't that add an exciting element to the game without disturbing much. We have the stock market to buy and sell, what if a trade caravan or ship could be produced with a certain level of factory. That would travel to other provinces and back to the capitol or port with the resources from the chosen province.

    Of course the units could only be available in certain provinces and coastal provinces

    adding more strategic value to them. Maybe Only the maps starting capitols having the ability to produce the unit?

    And coastal provinces of the developers choice?

    Also the ability to have this unit destroyed or captured would be possible.

    This would also add a more strategic reason to have right of way with someone.

    Adding the ability to gain resources through diplomacy and not just by capturing provinces or low balling me on my wheat in the stock market.


    I thought it would be fun to sink a trade ship to start a war.
