Fixed Trade

Internal trade routes are broken - they provide enormous amounts of most important resource in the game - food. It destroys gameplay balance, because AI fails to use them optimally, it breaks game pase when cities start to grow rapidly and it breaks immersion for those who are interested in historic accuracy because later eras was greatly about international trade of the nations.

So this mod tries to fix problem in the parts where it's possible (most internal trade route logic is unfortunately hardcoded).

Internal trade route yields are fixed to 3/6 food/production (so no growth per era). Food trade routes became available when building markets. [file Trade Routes.xml]

Caravan production cost is greatly reduced (30 at standard settings). [Caravan.xml]

Caravansary renamed Inn, cost reduced (100 at standard settings), it also provides 1 tourism. [Inn.xml]

East India Company renamed to Joint-stock trading company, provides +2 gold to all trade routes and +25% overoll gold. [Trading Company.xml]

if you don't like any of additional changes - navigate to:
Users\...your username...\Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 5\MODS\Fixed Trade
and delete corresponding file.

Nations are trading at ancient times then at the beginning of Axial Age (development of currency) they switch to internal trade and are free to conquer all neighbors, then at later eras external trade again became more interesting and they start to develop some civilized relationships. Obviously AI will fail at that but for human players it looks like optimal strategy.

If you got any ideas how to further enhance trade system, you are welcome to share them in the comments.


Enlightenment Era is supported
Generally it should work with all other mods which doesn't change the trade route system or add additional eras.
