How to remove trade routes hard cap

[adatopoulos]

Hi,
I've been playing ffh2 for a while, and it seems there's a hard cap on the number of trade routes each city can get (8), while in FFH2, the maximum possible number is 13
(if I'm not missing something):

1 (Default)
2 Great Lighthouse
2 Foreign Trade
1 Trade Technology
1 Currency Technology
1 Lighthouse
1 Inn
1 Tavern
1 Obsidian Gate
1 Smuggler's Port
1 Overcouncil Decision (you can join Undercouncil, build ports, then join Overcouncil)
TOTAL = 13

So even though I can theoratically get 13 trade routes in a city, I can only have 8, due to this cap.
So I was wondering if it's possible to remove this hard cap in any way? Thank you!

Answering my own question, you just have to change "MAX_TRADE_ROUTES" parameter in "beyond the sword\assets\xml\globalDefines.xml". Older save files become corrupt when you do so, though...
