I've been dwelling on the matter of weapons trading and production for a while now. For my money implimenting my idea would be dependant on two technical concerns: quantitative resources and resource conversion. If they could be implimented properly then weapon factories would both be possible and make the mod more historically accurate (along with all other factory types which I for one would like to see working).
If that could be made to work, we could then redo unit production in quite a fundamental way. Most military units could then be a collection of hardware (weapons, mounts etc.) and manpower (another quantitative resource that is produced by city population) with a very low hammer cost/production time (that is for pre modern land units, ships, planes and mechanised units would take much longer).
And i realise that this is all 'detail-idealization' but its taken me a while to work some of this through and if I don't make a point of noting it down I'll forget it so apologies for that.
