I would like to purpose a change to trade.
1. Do away with trade routes and caravans helping building wonders
2. Caravans and freight should carry production, food, and
trade. (maybe 25 for the caravan and 50 for fright)
3. Every city with a marketplace would be allowed to store
up food and production, in a "market" for pick up by a caravan.
a. Cities with a Bank would be able to do so
with trade
b. Cites with a Stock Exchange would be able to
pay for goods with gold (for international trade).
4. Cities would be able to designate a number of their
food, production and trade to be place in the "Market".
Option A They would do this at a discounted rate
Most like 50% as this the rate that one
get when changing between unit,
Building and wonder production
Option B Their would be three kinds of
Production, Weapons (for use in units),
Wood (for use in buildings) and stone
(for use in wonders).
5. Cities would be able to set "prices" for each good in
terms of the other goods, so foreign caravans and
freight could trade. i.e. 2 food for one production.
Also diplomacy would allow for trade relations.
6. Also Trade routes could be set up so that A caravan makes
a preset path over and over again, (e.g. goes to Paris
gets food goes to Berlin drop off food and get
production and back to Paris).
7. Maybe have the spot where caravans are kill, a pick up
for the resources that it was carrying (piracy)
'trade' in freeciv is seldom used and beyond abstract.
That is to say it does not help game play, and it is not
grounded in an real world phenomenon. It confuses me why
so many game abstract trade like this. If we just let
goods move around Trade would be very useful. Just like
it is in the real world, only you don't have to worry
about the textile workers.
