Was this in civ2 also? I'm a bit curious because this would make the
caravans very powerful, if you get 100bulbs++ research when establishing
a new trade route. With railroads and cities with 50+ production, you
could then easily add 2-300 in research each turn?

  notify_player_ex(pplayer, pcity_dest->x, pcity_dest->y, E_NOEVENT,
                   _("Game: Your %s from %s has arrived in %s,"
                   " and revenues amount to %d in gold."), 
                   unit_name(punit->type), pcity_homecity->name,
                   pcity_dest->name, revenue);

+ "and %d research", perhaps?
