After getting annihilated in early play (like everyone else), I learned that establishing Trade Routes was a key to wealth. I used them for maximum effect up to Version 2.6, and would usually have a ship at Alpha Centauri by about 1820, while all seven AI opponents were building Cruisers.
When I got to Version 3.0 and above, something went "wrong." I build a Caravan in a city (usually at least size 8) with a Marketplace, send it to another city for that size with a Marketplace, easily above my setting of "Minimum distance for trade routes" set at 7. And, after the Caravan arrives at the second city -- nothing happens. In Version 2 I'd get a pop-up window that included the choice [Establish a Trade Route]; in Version 3, I can't even select that from the pull-down menu.
I just can't figure out why something that was easy in Version 2 has become impossible in Version 3.
The attached jpeg shows the Caravan from Athens -- over ten hexes distant -- has arrived in Delphi, but nothing has happened.
Any ideas?
