I was playing a game last night where the whole world was at war with me. Shortly after making peace, I was simply able to restore my economy by reestablishing trade routes with my enemies. It got me thinking that perhaps a nice feature would be that trade route yield should be modified by diplo relationship.
Perhaps the following modifiers:
Hostile -30% trade route yield (both directions)
Guarded -15%
Neutral 0%
Friendly w/o DOF +15%
Friendly with DOF +25%
It makes sense on a relationship perspective to trade with your allies and not with enemies. Especially the AI, which doesn't seen to prioritize trading with friends enough.
