"trade route broken" bug v1.0.1.167

[HalloweenWeed]

First, let me say this bug report is NOT the notification you get when you have a road trade route and then build a harbor, nor the opposite.

I had 4 cities (of ten or so) connected by road suddenly not getting trade revenue, going into red, really sucked bc I had just spent all my cash and was having probs staving off war due to a weak military. I had the notifications 'trade route broken' for all 4 cities, did not have any harbors in any of those. I checked the roads between, they were fine. Previously I was getting a decent green cash flow, it turned very red (minus double-digit). And it did not fix itself on the next turn, instead I started losing military units, the red double-digit cash flow remained! I had to abandon that game bc of that bug!

BTW, I do have the saved games, before and after the bug bit me. My game version: 1.0.1.167 (just updated two days ago).

was the route perhaps going through a city state whose borders expanded?

If you have the savegames, then post them. What's the point of telling us that you have the savegames if you don't post them?

Damn, when I loaded the saved game, it didn't do it again! I had a theory that since my road went through an unowned tile maybe the opponent bought the tile, although the tile was surrounded entirely by at least two tiles of my turf, and >5 tiles away from the opponent city. But alas when I loaded the game, I had no such "trade route broken," even after several turns.

Before, I had even reloaded my game and tried it again from two turns before the "trade route broken" problem; and it did the thing again. At the time I did not understand that rival cities could buy tiles that were surrounded by my tiles.

Anyway, I was having so much economic and happiness trouble in that game I have abandoned it and moved on.
