Dynamic and civ related trade partners
« on: October 10, 2010, 10:37:44 am »

I searched the forums and the eternal suggestion list with these keywords, but I couldn't find anything.

Right now we have race related caravans: elves, humans, dwarves and rarely even goblins. You can have only one for any race near you embark, and that's all you'll ever get in that place.
If we look at the world in legend mode, however, we discover dozens of empires and even hundreds of civs. It's fair and belivable that at the beginning of the life of the fort only neighbors are willing to trade with us. However, as the settlement's wealth and importance grow, more civs should be interested in trading.
Maybe the number of legendary crafters should count too (for example, Cremona is just a small italian city that very few know of, but Stradivari spent all his life there and Stradivari's violins are well known and higly prized all over the world).
When it will be implemented, diplomacy too should have a role in establishing a trade route with some civ.
