Then the question should be... is trade such a severe imbalance?
As anyone considered the fragility of a traderoute?
I know I am giving a biased opinion as I and my alliance do run several
traderoutes, but the very existance of our alliance was based on the assumption
that trade generated huge amounts of money and so we decided to stay on a very
small island and generate our income through trade. I think it is highly unfair
to change that premise in the middle of the game, where we have spent almost all
of our efforts to develop those traderoutes.
