The incas could respawn as a Peruvian civ also in later dates

This already is the case...

This is also going away as Leo rewrites the rise and fall mechanics. The whole "respawn as a different some-what related civ" thing is just a work around.

Question: Do Independent cities ever have trade routes with regular civs? How about barbarian-controlled cities *guess not because there is always war but I am still asking.

I'm not absolutely sure, but I don't think so, since you can’t have an open borders agreement with Independents.

The only way this is possible is as Ethiopia with independent cities that have your state religion.

I was thinking about the existence of Cahokia as a city-state, not a civ, and a potential Mayan or even Aztec goal to establish a trade connection before Cahokia collapses after 1350 or 1400 at the very latest. This goal could also be more difficult if they are many natives or barbs placed along the way in the lower Mississippi.
