TITLE: Caravans II for BTS 3.19
AUTHOR: patriachica
DOWNLOAD: http://forums.civfanatics.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=22804
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.

Spoiler :
Credit to GFO_Anubis for the 'Ancient Caravans' units which are used here with slight modifications. Credit to tywiggins for the idea of converting a temporary building to food. Thanks also due to Solver's 'Guide to event modding in BTS'. SMH to "Tag: ____ in Info class was incorrect. Current XML file is xml\Units/CIV4UnitsInfos.xml" Solution? Start over.

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).
