Is it possible to change a trade route once it has been established?
Once those 30 turns are up can they be changed?
I think there are three scenarios where a trade route doesn't last the full 30 turns:
1) When war is declared between the two civs.
2) When the trade unit is captured by a third party (usually barbs)
3) When Venice or Austria is trading with a city state and buy/marry that city state.

In general when the target city change ownership the trade routes to that city are reset.
I was about to ask about this. In my current game I had several trade routes to a Civ, which declared war on me. I knew my trade routes were cancelled, but at the beginning of my turn I went looking for my caravans and they were gone. Now I know they all get destroyed when the target Civ declares war on me.#1 causes auto-pillaging of all routes between these civs. (The trade units are destroyed)

However, if those TRs are "auto-pillaged", does that mean the Civ receiving the TRs and declaring war gets the gold from plundering the TRs?
No, you don't get gold for auto destroyed routes after a DoW.

4) The aformentioned embargo
Also, from the last game I had:
5) If the city you're trading with is captured by a third party (and then razed)
I am unsure if the cause was the capture or the razing. In any case, the trade unit was sent back to its home city.
No one gets the gold. The trade units just disappear.

Thank goodness I had 4 TRs going from my cities to the Civ that DOWed me.
Also, keep an eye on the leader who is allied with alot of city-states.as a rule of thumb, I spread my trade routes out -- even though that means less net gold.
Hmm that could be true sometimes particularly if you have very little power and aren't getting along really well with the rest of the civilizations.
