How does one use food caravans to any great effect? (not as much as in the Glory of Roem timeline, but to a reasonable extent.)I ask as I would like decent sized cities, such as 10 million population.

Food caravans are used to help increasing the size of a city.
Actually it's like rush-build.
When you move a F.Caravan into city X from city Y, the food storage of city X becomes full. In the next turn the city gains one point. The only thing you should take care of is to have another caravan ready to leave from city X to city Y because the first caravan took one "food" from the original city so by doing this not only do you restore the food icon but you also increase the size of the other city for free! :;
 
Actually I think I'm wrong about the way the food storage fills. The size of the city probably counts also. The smaller the city from which the caravan comes the less it will add to the storage... (?)
 
Caravans fill half the foodbox before negative food situation arises.2 per turn or 1 with granary.After negative food it will take 3 or 2 with granary.City size has no effect on the amount od food delivered.
