	TRADE - resources Tired of ads?

Hello ,



should cattle and wheat become a "trade" resource like in Civ2 ,
including to other civ's and should you not be able to select the city it goes to ?

Example in real life , the UsA sell's to RussiA


have a nice day/night

I had got an idea that cities connected by rail should have a shared food storage.

Frankly, any empire with surplus food on one end that couldn't send it to the less capable growing regions -- Such as Rome or Egypt would not grow to Empire status. I haven't found where this has been addressed, but it needs to be.

Food is bulky and fragile. Transporting it across an empire should require an advanced transportation network.

Yes, but Rome, the largest Empire for many centuries, handled it beautifully. The Meditteranean was it's secret. Rome had massive 'super-tanker' food transports that were the largest vessels on earth until the trans-atlantic steamers of the 19th century. Imagine thousands of these ships entering and leaving the harbors each day.
