They’re worth the time sink because they can freely make money for you without too much input, and it’s more of a hands-off mentality. Not only do you need 15,000 Denars for a caravan, but
Location and possibility of enemy raiding troops nearby have become a point to be considered when creating a caravan now.

If successful, their wealth will go up, as
Never pay for upgraded caravans. All that extra 7.5k does is upgrade a few caravan guards to veteran caravan guards. It doesn't increase the caravan size or anything else. Just not worth it.

On top of my party upkeep I'm losing 2-3k a day. They disabled comments on Nexus so I have no idea how to even bring this up to the dev team.Caravans work, Ive been making boat loads of money from them. caravans are not meant to be stable income, thats workshops domain.

At some points in the past (tho rare) it was possible to over caravan the game which led to flat prices but this was when peace was too common and the resource map was very different.. 362 85 382 455 373 132 224 480
