Hi! I just want to share a small feature I have found out yesterday.
As I already knew, when you capture an enemy city you inherit any trade routes it has established before. The location of the city (or cities) involved in a trade route are displayed by clicking "map" on the city screen as well as the location of any units assigned to that city.
What I didn't know is that this could be an easy way to find out where enemy cities are located if you still haven't found them.
For example, in my current game I am sharing the continent with the Babylonians. We have lived at peace until 200 AD. On 200 AD a sneak attack by the Babylonians triggered a war that lasted until 380 AD (I think). During the war, I conquered one of their cities (the closest one to my territory). This city, called Nineveh, while under the Babylonians, have established a trade route with Moscow. I have had no contact with the Russians yet. However, to my surprise, by checking the "map" on the city screen, I discovered the location of Moscow. Now, I'm in possession of important information: if I want to meet the Russians I should sail to Southwest.
On conclusion, after more than 20 years of playing this eternal game, I am still finding something new!
