So this is a quick question as someone new to BNW, and for all I know I sound absurdly stupid. But why in the name of Shaka's leapord print underwear would I want to build caravans?
They're exactly half as good as a naval trade route, so unless I desperately need to send food/hammers to a landlocked city, why not just build cargo ships? I know the land routes are often a bit easier to defend, but even taking that into consideration, I'd rather an occasional pillaging than just settling for something half as good. Can anyone explain to me why my opinion is outrageously wrong (or not)?
