Trade Options in 1550 AD
We have 3 potential trade-goods targets; Carth, Japanese, and Chinese.

The Chinese are least convenient, the Carths most convenient. Naturally the order of convenience is opposite the value of trade. The Carhts are the least advanced, the Chinese most advanced (in terms of trade value - gold and bonus beakers).

I suggest we seriously consider the Japanese for the value of a quick return and shorter travel, but allow that some goods will be best traded with the Chinese.

As long as Chinese are the only one in rep we should trade with them.

We cant trade with most of the jap city's anyway becouse they are inland and our caravans will be slaughtered.

Chinese - especially if we can bribe a NON ship to escort that long distance.
