IMHO, this must be up to the modpack author to decide. With teams, as
outlined, he can decide by using teams or not. Team allies should never
break their alliances, since they ultimately aim for a "team win".

I've already deleted the savegames, unfortunately. You can try using
rulesetloading3 + teams1 + ai2 patches, and set all AIs on the same team.
That way they'll go for a lot more peaceful expansion, and you should see
caravans being used a lot.

Another thing about caravans - does the AI check if the destination city
has available traderoutes? What happens if you send a caravan with goto to
a city with traderoutes filled up?
