OK probably a bit of a dumb question, but anyways putting it out there.... 
Can someone explain exactly what an economic treaty does? I know it creates a road for caravans between the factions.... but does it provide income or something also?
Thanks.
Waaaaaaait a minute...... do caravans even exist now? They got removed somewhere along the line when I wasn't paying attention...??
OK scratch that, I found one.
So when I click on the caravan, in the lower left corner it says Gildar Bonus +10% for the caravan.
What does that mean....?
Ok so slowly figuring this out.... I see in the City Details window, that if I create an economic treaty... is show me I have Caravans with the other factions city.... it looks to me like it provides flat +10% gildar bonus?
Isn't that what the trade treaty does.... (is there any difference other than the roads) ?
Your capital gets a 10% gold bonus for every caravan. Economic treaties are basically vestigial and exist solely so you can attack or spy on other players.
It multiplies your guildar per turn by 1.10. I believe it also improves your relations with the other faction, don't quote me on that. It's generally a good idea to make as many of these treaties as you can.
new gildar income = gildar * 1.10
The treaty that builds roads I believe is only useful for connection points to other empires. Hehe, been a while since I played LH so again don't completely quote me on that.
Yeah just worked out it is only the capital.
Is there any way to get more caravans....? You're stuck with 10% for each economic treaty right?
Sorry more questions, should think it through before posting like a madman. Anwyays.....
Is there any point in attacking a caravan? Is that even possible anymore?
You can attack caravans, but they are just a nuisance.
in older versions the ai spammed world spells on them wasting their mana, its supposed to be fixed but i haven't really paid attention to them.
