Polly77: I'm making sure that the ends of my trade port are in the water and that it is full to capacity with the correct goods, but I'm finding that the ships aren't taking them.
The map I'm on is Syracusae. In the Advisors menu, I have the export Resources set to an appropriate level. I've set the goods as 'selling' in the Order menu of the port itself. In the menu which comes up when you click on the city you are trading with on the Empire map, for each the trade status is Open, and trade is not suspended.
Latium wants both Wool and Grain. I have 24 of each in my 48 capacity port. I've let the game run for over a year in game time with a full port and nothing is being taken upon the ships.
Furniture arrives fine from Narbonensis, pottery arrives fine from Apulia, but Apulia isn't taking any of the clothes which share the port with the pottery. (12 pots to 36 clothes)
So imports are happening, exports aren't.
Have I missed doing something? What can I do to resolve this issue?
What about when a purchase is made (exporting) and the profit you should receive is reversed? It;s impossible to turn a profit when you sell goods and pay to do it every time a purchase is made. This seems to happen when your cities funds are low. Seems like a calculating bug.
