Thank you both for clarifying this issue of the cap, why it is there, and why it should remain there.Please move on to other aspects of the trade system. Further discussion on the same topic will be moved to a different thread.
Even Indirik agrees that the cap needs to be changed.
TOM wants people to trade more but I am telling you as a player that I don't like trading because for the work you have to put in the reward does not make it worth it and if you look at other people comments they agree with me.
Please don't misrepresent what I said.If the trading facet of the game is too much work for you, then don't do it. Appoint yourself a steward, and let them deal with it. Give someone the minimum estate size, change the lord's share to 50%, and let him get his income based on the food sales he makes. Then you can just sit back and collect all the region's gold for yourself.
