Ah, so the gold would've been treated as a negative trade balance, taking out tax gold from the region before it got distributed at the next tax day?
It makes sense to not allow 'selling back' for an automatic trade offer (from Warehouse.php), if that affects trade balance as outlined above. However, for an explicit caravan offer (from CaravanOffers.php), posting a buy order immediately takes gold from the region lord. Thus, selling food back this way would end up with the lord simply getting his own gold back, without affecting region tax/trade balance, no?
I'm guessing the coding is less complicated if both methods are simply disallowed.
Yes.
And yes again. I think the thought just never came up to anyone. It would sound like a perfectly reasonable idea.
I still want the ability to donate food to lordless regions, though.
