Hi,
I have a fleet stationed on an enemy trade route and I see no effect. Can you pillage it to get some credits, or break it?
I remember good old GC2 had these tiny merchant ships you could take pleasure into destroying, this was very fun. Why they were removed? Plus at peace it gave a feeling of a living universe, which was cool.
There no pillaging trade routes in GalCiv 3. There are other differences.
Trade routes have a bigger effect on relations with other civs. Civs can get offended if you're trading with an enemy or a civ with the *wrong* ideology.
You also can't setup a second trade route between 2 planets. You need to setup trade routes between different combinations of planets. This includes routes established by other civs. If another civ has established a trade route between Earth and Drengi, you can't establish your own trade route between Earth and Drengi.
Thanks. I know about what are the benefits. I would like to know how to shut down an enemy trade route.
Simple. Conquer either of the connected planets.
Destroy the planet if you'd like to ensure it never trades again.
Mmmh, I'm just disappointed there is no piracy gameplay around that. It's like saying that why having U-boot for Germany, it is sufficient to conquer the UK to disable the convoys. Not the answer I was looking for, for sure!
I still don't understand why the tiny ships from GC2 have been removed, they were a lot of fun.
There is code for raiding, just no UI element to support it. (Its in GlobalDefs)
