	Proposition: Caravans Tired of ads?

I believe that now that Tel-Aviv is more secured, it's time to let it produce a caravan. What do you people think?

for money or for science?

I don't know. First of all, near all cities are in the same continent, second: it could be difficult to reach another countries' cities in order to trade; third: our foes' goverment aren't too much advanced, so the trade is not very profitable, I think.

We could always trade with Cyprus... you know, here comes an immigrant, off goes a caravan... But would it be worth the 50 shields?

yep.

Btw, I wonder why the Jordanian civ is a puny city in the corner. Did the author change his mind or something?

What kind of payouts would we be looking at?

One thing we could do is create some Jewish settlements in Cyprus after the British leave. This way we could take advantage of two continent bonuses. Unfortunately, it would take a while for the payoffs to really be worth the expense.

What about Egypt? Could we shipchain and deliver some caravans to their major cities?

Trade with the enemy! I have had enough with this treason, consider yourself courtmartialed.

On a more serious note, it is possible to shipchain to Egypt, though it too has costs.
1. We would need 2, but most likely three transports to pull it off.
2. The Egyptians would probably sink one ship in the chain, possibly before anything is dropped off.
3. It takes time and money to build ships and caravans needed.
4. It remains to be seen, and I am not sure how to test this, how much money would be gained by the trade.

Hard to courtmartial someone who isn't even in the army.

Two continents generally make it worthwhile to trade. Especially with the enemy. We could just produce caravans and try to deliver as many as possible, wherever they are demanded. Try it a few times and then see if the payoff is worthwhile.

NO TRADE with the enemy, we need more larger army and cant afford to waste our time trying to develop trading systems..

The British are dead, there is no one to trade with anymore. This is a moot point.
