Hello guys,
quick question. I'm playing my first diety map with venice on a tiny island map and have only discovered two city states. one is really close, militaristic and has a gem. I've completed a couple quests and am allied with them. The other is RIGHT next to russia's capital so i dont want to puppet it i don't think.
question is what should i do with my first merchant? Wait until i discover another city state or plant it?
also, what exactly does a custom house do besides the tile improvements? I think i remember maddjinn saying something about it giving a boost to trade routes or something but i'm not sure as to exactly how much advantace it would give me...
little extra info, its turn 76, 975BC.
anyway thanks for any advice you might have on the subject. I think i'm leaning toward saving it until i find another city state but am still curious as to what the benefits of a custom house are.
