Trade Routes vanishing?

from GalCiv3 Forums

Hi All,

 

New to Galciv 3 and still learning the ropes but did have a question about trade routes. I currently have 10 / 17 trade routes active but after a couple turns I checked and then I had 9 / 17 and turn later it went to 8 / 17 so I don't understand why that would be happening, I can't see the trade ships getting destroyed or if that's happening I'm not getting told about it, and not at war with anyone I'm trading with. Do trade routes just end after so many turns?

 

Thanks for reading

You can look back at the previous autosave and see which one is missing. After that replaying the turn might show you what happened to it. 

 

Otherwise, no they shouldn't expire. But AIs Embargo, get eliminated, etc...

I'm also new to Galciv 3, but from what I've observed, trade routes can be affected by various factors like rival actions, resource availability, or diplomatic changes. It's worth exploring the in-game notifications or forums for more insights!

Is it possible, by any chance, that the trade route vanishes because the relationship with another civilization deteriorates (so they cancel the trade agreement)?

I have not seen that happen. By far the most common way I've seen trade routes vanish is when two AIs are at war and one takes over a planet of another that I've had a trade route to.
