They make you more money. The same way as markets do.
You have to build up the trade route a couple levels before they start making money, though.
I build the scout/party initial building, but it doesn't let me build anything else. I read a thread a while about how to use them. Am I missing something?Quote:

I think you also need a bigger settlement to keep building up your caravans, only huge cities can build huge caravans.
Can't we get rid of this restriction, so the steppe economy wouldn't suck so bad.
@Tellos I played Sauromatae so I don't remember needing any gov type it was directly linked to city-size
Oh damn. Why a type III or IV? That doesn't really make sense that I can't build caravans to southwestern Arabia which is full of gold,silver, spices, and other luxury goods.Quote:

Only Saba and the steppe factions can build all the levels of caravans with level 1 or 2 governments. Some hellenic factions can also build them (Baktria, Seleukids, Ptolemai?) but they require that the caravans be built in settlements with a level 3 or 4 government and no port.
Like the caravans of old, they increase tradable goods and generate more money for the player.
