I'm thinking that caravans need to be changed:
1. Either they need to be turned into something graphical only
2. They need to be units that we can customize and design (kind of like trading vessels in GC2) that way they can defend themselves
imo, I'd lean towards option 2. Also include other reasons to have them though...
Why would anyone care about caravans at all? They are utterly and completely vestigial and serve no other purpose then being a incredibly simple way to create roads. They should probably just be removed so they stop confusing people into thinking this game has any thing like trade.
