	trading resources Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

I have roads linking resources to the towns built by them, and the twons are connected by road to the capital. But I can't trade resources. The comp has built towns over those roads. Is this the reason why I can't trade the resources?

You can only trade resources with an AI if your capitals are connected by road or harbor or airport (and there is some surplus of resources of course) .
The route must not go through enemy territory.

So either your capitals aren't connected or there is some enemy between you and your potential trading partner.

And with harbors, if you need to cross ocean/sea to get to his harbor, you need the required seafaring techs before the harbors can trade. Also, you don't have to build a harbor, you can use any harbor on your continent as long as you aren't at war with the civ that built that harbor.
