New trading mechanic and roads

from Elemental Forums


I understand we do not build caravans anymore and that roads come up organically but we don't even get some kind of caravan animation going on between cities? Also, how do we know when the roads will level up? How do we know which cities are trading? Because I looked at my capitol city and it said it was only trading with one city which was an AI city but meanwhile there were roads to a couple of my cities and they were not trading at all.

You have to get economics before you can trade between cities now, except if you have an economic treaty with another player which sets 1 up between your capitals.

I think I have economics though, pretty sure I do. I will have to check. Anyway to check when the roads will level up now? Also, no caravans traveling on the roads? I liked seeing the caravans traveling on the roads.

Did you guys realize that we can now build outposts to make roads wherever we want?

Okay I just got economics and the roads are being built just fine but my two cities are not trading with each other, what gives

I saw a caravan going from my city to the AI city so thats there. My own cities are still not trading though.
