[R&F] Making trade route duration NOT dependant on distance?

I am very annoyed with how they made trade routes worse in civ 6. Lets say i want to send a trader somewhere ust to build some routes...but its the destination is too far away and my trader will be out of action for 40+ turns. Thats a huge waste of time just to get some roads.

Is there a way to make it work like civ 5/BE in which trade route durations are not dependant on the distance to the destination? I thought about increasing the number of tiles that traders mvoe per turn, but i cannot find that info anywhere...

 

Units.xml - Trader has BaseMoves = "2"

 

In Civ5 tr duration IS dependant on distance. Caravan moves 2 tiles per turn.

 

That doesnt work because the trader has the "ignore moves" flag. You will notice traders move only 1 tile per turn even though they are listed with 2 base moves.

 

Is there any way to not make it dependant on distance, or at least have an option to cancel a trade route halfway through?

 

There was a Lua function to recall a caravan in Civ5 but I am not aware of such in Civ6. Maybe there is something in unit actions via UnitManager, but it requires some digging into details here.

 

Im guessing copy pasting that lua function wouldnt work?

 

Lua needs to be supported by engine. There is no such function.

 

Of course, so just set it to false.

 

But that would allow you to move traders like normal units...

 

Well good luck then...

 

So you are saying it cant be done without making traders movable like normal units?
