Just beautiful. heh good enough for economy schools i would think.
I hope all the data makes it into the XML and gets some filters. I mean its nice to see all that traderoutes but i would like to see the flow of certain goods, say diamonds or metals.
These Maps are pure gold. The help with war, economics heck one could use them to remote-controll other civs and start wars between them just by influencing the right values. The so called "Butterfly"-effect comes to mind you would need just the right time an place - oh that would be some wonderfull shemes for demons.
Any Plans to make the civ-leaders aware of this network (in parts)? Will civs or entitys try to actively search for new resources and tradepartners? I also noticed that a number of the dwarfen civs (on the middle-sized island) didnt trade at all not even between theyr own settlements. Bug/Feature?
edit:
I notice some of the trade routes go over water. Will there be some kind of sea travel anytime soon?
This is pretty much a given. It'd probably be easy enough to fudge some numbers in world gen to get world gen "trade boats", what we don't know is how boats would work in Dwarf/Adventure mode.
Well these traderoutes could also be realized via the caverns. The entire world sits on a giant interconnecting cave system so i would guess you could use certain shortcuts to get around oceans rivers and Mountain-ranges - kinda like the way through Moria in LOTR.
