Well, I had a look at our caravan situation on the home island. We do indeed have 6 caravans waiting about, but I did not realize that FOUR of them carry actual goods and only TWO are food caravans.

I don't know if everyone realized this.

Here's the breakout:

CLOTH (The Holy Duck Pond)
GOLD (Athenae)
SILVER (Potoplia)
BEADS (Hippoville)

Before I posted a poll on which wonder to build, I thought that we should first decide if we really wish to use these caravans on wonders and not deliver them.

This poll will be on the Silver caravan.

Silver is demanded by Dreadtown, Athenae, Hippoville, Fort Pornstar, Cornmater, Mpondo, and three foreign cities which would then fall under the Foreign Ministry.

What shall we do with this one?
 
Before I make my vote, I would like to know the size of these cities, and if they are connected by road to the origin of the caravan. Also, Aren't we at war with the owners of all those demanding cities? If so, they are a definate no-no, as is using them for wonder building ;) This post goes for all of the caravan polls that are there at the moment
 
We're at peace with the Mongols now, right? If so we should deliver this to whichever of those two Mongol cities is the largest and/or looks like it has the highest trade (lots of rivers etc.)
 
IMHOP the trade caravans should be used for trading. Our economy is lacking and we could use those trade routes. I voted for delivering them abroad, but I don´t know what cities would be best to trade with since I don´t have enough information. Perhaps the president could choose.

I realize that we need caravans for wonder building as well, so it´s a though decision.
 
i say we deliver the caravan to viroconum, we are at war with the romans, and atleast we have a dim idea of their location
 
Just to let you all know, if the vote goes for delivery abroad then it should be up to the Foreign minister to poll on which foreign city.

Again, I am a MUCH bigger proponent for delivering caravans to our own cities. It creates two routes that way, and even though the initial bonus will be less, the increased commerce more than makes up for it.

Let's also all keep in mind that there IS a wonder race on as well, and there are only 2 food caravans at the ready and really not any being built (though the president may override).
