A similar thing happened in my Suebi one. So it should be a combination of quantity and diversity as a trade partner does only import so much of a single ressource. It is likely that exportable ressources of potential trade partners also help a bit but so far I did not verify it. The amount of imports per faction should depend on the number of provinces, with each province bringing less and less import capability.
Im in 60 BC and i own every trade resource, allmost all my cities are upgrated, i have 10 trade agreements, some of them since early game.
I have achieved the objectives for an economic victory, but since turn 120 if im not wrong the most of my trade parteners broke the aggrements with me and since then i bleed for a trade pact in axchange for a lot of money.
I think there is something there that needs to be fixed.
Best example are the client states, i have client states that do not want nothing, it is a client state for gods sake, you own it, at least a trade aggrement with them sould be de facto.
And an other example, the one province faction of egypt, a client state of Macedon for a very long time and very friendly, +204, didnt want to trade even with the ofer of 240.000 dinarii!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So i think CA must see it, i believe thats basics.
