Hello,

I've recently joined the GOTMs and am trying to learn about the trade system. In GOTM 73 I traded mostly with the Celts, nearly all of their land was grassland and grass/river.

I notice in my 500AD save, every one of their cities demands Silk, not in the middle (wildcard) slot. I found the demand formula for Silk in the Solo Guide:

Demand = Desert x 4 + Plains/2 + Swamp x 2 + Jungle x 4
etc.

My question is, how can all their cities demand Silk when they have none of these terrain tiles? They are size 6,6,7,11, etc...basic early AI cities.

Thanks for the help.

UHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
maybe then if they have none of those tiles you have to put a one in perhaps
or perhaps
the equation is flawed????

OFF WITH HIS HEAD! HE HATH COMMITTED HERSEY
 
Perhaps there were a few jungles and swamps before you moved in.
Or the few plains/deserts tiles are enough to cause the demand.
Or the equation is flawed. :[

Did you check the other demand formulas? maybe the others came up with 0's as well or even negative numbers (I don't even remember if that's possible).
