Wagon train

[jrhindo]

I am having alot of trouble with the wagons. No idea how to use that unit... The ships work fine, they transport goods between my cities and europe, but wagons are another thing. Dont they also work with the export and import settings?

How do i use it?

Yes, they should work the same as ships. Once you have set up your exports and imports you can assign trade routes to your wagons.

There is a very good strategy article on the use of trade routes:

Thx for the link!

Seems like I do something similar to the post linked. But the list of trade routes to choose from for wagon applies only to the land mass they are on. So I get lazy and try a two landmass set up. Two shorter lists are easier to manage but I might have to have a manual shuttle between the two. One landmass ships to Europe east, the other ships west.
