[Freeciv] Re: How the heck do I use a caravan?

[Scott Davis <scott.davis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I suggest a section "Trade" in the help just after the "Combat" section as

why I always seem to end up short of cash later in a game - I had no idea what
the effect of building a trade route was.

Thanks,
  Scott
