a huge map, blunt, for testing 24 trade routes.
the scenario hould simulate carthage after being salted by the romans. only food supply is fish. you can't produce any raw materials. prices are artificial low, due to hex editing. invasions are on the schedule. you should keep ceasar happy, which is hard without money. try to keep the docks on different loop or there will be a bug with shipping. augustus only.
Good job on adding more trade routes. What file do I use to edit the map? Thanks.

i haven't completed the map yet but i noticed the sea trade is especially clunky - the trade ships would get stuck at the many docks resulting in stagnant trade and industries.
what exactly do you mean by keeping them on a different loop?

make one dock for one industry type and never connect them to other roads leading to other docks. keep things seperate.

Honestly this is my first time playing a map with so many trade routes unlocked, something of a dream of mine so im going ahead to give a rating of 7/5. I felt like a giant itch has been scratched off my back.

However, there's some weird issues as pointed out by vesna - you will have a nightmare scenario with dozens of ships just docking around for eternity, even if you have a hundred docks.
What I had to do is to focus on only selected goods and making sure the sea trade routes are NOT buying anything. This is to ensure each sea trade ships spend as little time as possible at each dock, and giving the other ships their chance to trade their goods. Some weird behavior I noticed is that after the trade ship had fully traded with your city, the ship will visit the other docks before heading back home.
On the map itself, once you figured out the trade and econ routes the next thing you should take note of is the invasion and their timings. My suggestion is not to delay if your troops are needed (you'll know what i meant).
Additional Comments:
A very bad map How can you export olives oil wine and fruit when there are no possibilities to have farms this is an absolutily stupid and useless map

That is excatly the point of the map the economy is harsh. otherwise with so many trade routes it would be to easy. you have to import raw materials and make goods to sell them.
If you think the map is to hard, just enable farms with the gameexplorer. there is easily enough fertile land near the natives for 15 farms. also iron and marble could be activated. that's why it is a *.sav file and not a *.svx file
