Yes. However there exists code which does roughly what is wanted. It
should be reused. For the things I have in mind there is little you
can do about improving it expect more control over it. Is there a way
of improving the unit-goto? Maybe AutoSettler is to complicated for
this but there is only one way to "maximze trade".
