If I wanted to make a trade route focused city, one that attracted AI civs to send their trade routes to this one city, what do you need to accomplish this?
I've played several games of BNW, but still don't have a complete understanding of the trade game (besides sea routes > land routes). I want to make my city the best option for AI civs to send trade routes to it. Not worried so much about where I'm sending trade routes from. What should I focus on when building this city?
Items to consider:
- High pop city
- Gold producing builds (Market, Bank, Stock Exchange)
- Does maximizing the base gold produced in the city help?
- Trade posts
- Just for this experiment (no need to further bash Great Merchants), how would Custom Houses help?
- Unique resources/luxuries not found in other cities (AKA resource diversity)
- Being next to a river
