Heheh, in case u missed my first point, Teloft, this system would definately get very complex for larger scale games. You don't need to even play through it to see that, as you are adding a lot more to replace the trade route idea.


Which reminds me, it might be easier to just add the caravan system to the trade route system instead of completely replacing it. What I mean is that the caravan system is just a finer level of detail for the trade route system. True this would cut down a lot on the variability, however, it would also make it easier to manage. You could always say that if the regent personally sees to the shipping of certain goods, or has a lieutenant do so, then they may actually get an increased amount of cash from the trip.
