C&P: Domestic Trade Bonuses

Caravans & Pilgrims is a collection of mods thriving to improve the gameplay of Trade, pushing it beyond just getting gold from somewhere else. This mod in particular focuses on improving Domestic Trade Route yields based on what Resources are present at the city of destination, as well as combining with some buildings, including two newcomers: the Brewery and the River Dock. Part of the "Modder Pass VI: Caravans of the Silk Road" pack from the Civilization VI Helpline.

Domestic Trade Bonuses

The purpose of this mod is to enhance Domestic Trade Routes by making them stronger based on the amount of Bonus Resources at the city of destination. To control this certain buildings were modified and two new buildings were added to the City Center (The Brewery and the River Port). Also includes reworks for Angkor Wat and Jebel Barkal to fit more of a domestic Trade Route niche.

Improved Bonus Resources at your cities increase the yields of your Domestic Trade Routes sent to this city based on some specific buildings, including a couple of new and reworked ones. The idea is to use the buildings and bonus resources to create the best spot to send your domestic routes to.

Jebel Barkal and Angkor Wat have also been reworked around a gameplay that enhances Domestic Trade Routes:

  +2 Gold to Domestic Trade Routes sent to this city for every Mine or Quarry over any Resource in this city.

  +1 Iron per turn from Bonus Resources improved by Mines or Quarries.

  +2 Faith, +1 Great Merchant Points

  (Jebel Barkal keeps its Iron+Faith focus while also becoming an interesting mix of a hub for Domestic and International routes alike)

• Angkor Wat
  Your current and future cities with a Trading Post that you established receive +1 Population, +2 Housing.
  Domestic Trade Routes that include this city provide 2 Amenities to both cities for the duration of the Trade Route.

  (Angkor Wat citizen bonus is now easier to control with Trading Posts, and now you can get citizens in cities founded after you build the Wat. The amenities also help sustain this growth for a bit)
