Has the trading game really improved since we decentralized it all?
I know that this is the direction that's been taking since a while, but that doesn't mean it's the right one. Traders don't seem any more useful because of this (when they do seem useful, it's for other reasons). Heck, it almost makes them feel less useful, because they can't trade on behalf of the centralized food manager (banker) as well anymore, because there is not more centralized food manager.
I could understand giving the lords the power to prevent the banker from starving their regions, but the measures taken just go way beyond that.
And at least with automated offers, like back with the caravans, I could send 'em a bit everywhere and many would come back with food, because the lords only had to set offers once and often didn't remove the offers set by the previous lords. But now, every 14 days...? Sell offers are so rare...
