Trade routes: default to last destination option please

[morikahn]

I don't know if firaxis reads this site.. but I'd love to see an option, maybe in the trade route window, that allowed me to order a trade route to be maintained until further notice.

Its irritating to have a unit continually ask me to keep doing what its doing, especially when you can have so many of them. If I want it to change destinations.. I'll tell it.

If that isn't possible, atleast get rid of the "Are you sure?" confirmation window after I give a trade ship an order. It just one more useless click. Does anyone ever click no?

Oops. thank you.

Yes, please Firaxis, give us an "auto renew" button for trade routes. What would be even better is to give us "auto renew to this city", "auto renew to best science", "auto renew to best energy", "auto renew to best food" and "auto renew to best production" for the sending city.

I think they need one of two options depending on how trade routes end up working

1. If trade route yield is fairly constant/consistent, then you need the "auto-renew" (although current at the top is good)
2. If trade route yield changes a lot as cities develop, then you need a "sort by best output" option, and auto-renew would probably not be worthwhile.

I agree, the annoying pop-up distracts me from the main plot but an auto-renew-to-best... makes trade routes somehow silly. I would like to have an all time overview window, which routes are available for each city. Then an auto-renew-enabled checkbox on trade route screen would suffice to ask you about new trade route settings for that particular trade unit before the next trade cycle starts.
