Hello,

I have played a few BNW games. Do markets, banks, etc. effect trade route income? Judging from the city screen, they only increase the gold generated by the city, not gold from the trade route. If this is really so, is it still worthwhile building them?
 
Sure they increase the yield from the trade routes, because trade routes are counted as city income. Market in particular, it even has an explicit bonus for trade routes.
 
It's only the explicit bonuses that apply - the percentage bonuses to city income are applied before trade route income is added to the city.
 
It is worthwhile building them because increased city gold increases
1. The value to you of trade routes out of the city
2. The value to other civs of trade routes sent to that city (so they are more likely to send trade routes there)
 
It's only the explicit bonuses that apply - the percentage bonuses to city income are applied before trade route income is added to the city.

Are you sure? I'm fairly sure my experiences contradict this.
