I am playing a Terra map and my colony in the New World is not connected to my trade network. (Nor is the other New World colony of a rival power). What do I need to be connected?
I have astronomy of course (that's how I got to the New World). At first I thought it was because my colony was Mercantilist but I persuaded them to switch to free trade but it still did not allow trade. There's no blockading or anything going on. Some of my colonies settlements are on the coast and their resources have routes.
I've played Civ4 quite a lot over the years, including recently, but I am baffled by this. I created the New World settlements to get access to the resources next to them, but liberating the colony has frustrated that (the settlements were costing a lot of maintainence).
Thanks for any advice!
