This is something which is either missing or hard to find in the help pages.
There's a section on how combat is handled and calculated, but no equivalent
section on trade.

It's also hard to find any info on airfields and fortresses (although I think
that is in the combat section).

I've also seen people talking on this list about farmland being an improvement
over ordinary irrigation, but I have no idea how or when I can do that - any
hints?

It's a great game, and the only one I keep going back to. Keep up the good
work. 

Cheers,
