TITLE: Caravans II for BTS 3.19
AUTHOR: patriachica

UPDATED: 27 MAY 2014
DESCRIPTION: This mod adds three caravan units to move food, hammers, and culture, and to conduct trade missions. Caravans become available with the construction of a marketplace and cost 50 hammers to build.
Converting caravans to hammers and culture is done using the Great Works function from Great Engineers and Great Artists. Food is rushed by building a temporary 'Farmers Market' building, which a non-random event will convert to food the following turn.
This mod uses no SDK or Python, and you are welcome to use it as a modcom for your own builds.
Developed and tested in BTS 3.19. YMMV.
KNOWN BUGS: Only one food rush can happen at a time. i.e. you can't stack farmers markets in a single city, and (I think) only one event will trigger per turn. If you settle six Food Caravans, they'll trigger in order for the next six turns. Sorry, that's a cost of using events XML instead of Python/SDK. Also, there was a bug during development which occasionally caused a Trade Caravan (culture) to turn into a barbarian Great Merchant, which then ran around the map singing 'Macarena' until killed. I think I squashed that bug but, if not, I sincerely apologize for coding after 2am.

BUGFIX v1.0b - 27 MAY 2014
- v.1.0 required a BUILDING_MARKET to build caravans. Because Romans have BUILDING_FORUM instead, they couldn't build caravans. Caravans can now be built with the discovery of TECH_CURRENCY. Attempts to use BUILDINGCLASS_MARKET translated into a BUILDING_HYDRO_PLANT (IDK).
