Old Growth Forest and Caravan questions

from Elemental Forums

Can't figure out what I need to use the Old Growth Forest tile. No tech I've researched seems to give me the required building. Is it disabled for now ?

In addition, I have a question regarding Caravans. They seem to work ok for the most part but, once I've a few going between my cities, I'll sometimes get a prompt to issue orders to one that just arrived in a city. Which leads me to wonder if there's a limit to the number of caravans that can interact with any given city. Also, is there a way to find out just how much a caravan is contributing to my my economy or, in the bigger picture, is there a way to get a view of my entire Caravan trade network ? I'm asking because once you have 6 or 7 cities going it's hard to keep track how many caravans from which city you sent where, and I'm always wondering if I've truly maxed out my internal trade potential.

Old Growth forests are dorked in this build, can't build on them...Harvesting should have given you the ability, but it is not working.

 

Don't know about caravans...I just got my first game with 6 cities so I'll have to see what happens there.

Also noted this behavior. I suspect a Bug/Glitch.

I have just been sending them to a random City as there is no way to know where they originally came from.

I've noticed the same thing on both counts.

As far as the caravans go, in my games anyway I have noticed that there are certain cities they just won't interact with, but others they will.  So I don't think there is a limit to the number of them you can have.  There just seem to be some buggy cities.  I've had some luck by actually training the caravan in the buggy city and sending it to another one, that works sometimes.  I use them more for their ability to build roads than anything else, so even if they won't ever go back to a certain city so long as I get a road built to it for my units I am happy.
