Multiple Caravans for Kingdoms?

from Elemental Forums

I just started a game last night as fallen for the first time and noticed I can research to get more than one caravan per city. I may be missing something but I never noticed the ability to do this as kingdom and I looked in the heirgamenon and saw nothing that would allow you to make multiple caravans as kingdom. Am I missing something? If not why can't kingdoms have multiple caravans.

As a Kingdom player, I use Caravans first to build roads and second to farm food.  I send them to build the road to the destination of my choice then disband them and build another to a new destination once I have my roads then I build one and send it to my farm/food producing city and use it to make food(as dumb as that sounds it works).

That would work for roads but if I can run 2 caravans from my all my cities then it would seem that my food production would get crazy compared to kingdoms built on the same resources and as food and gold are your main resources in this game with food being critical in the early game that seems very unbalanced. The tech to build multiple caravans is easy to research so you can get this going early.

i don't see the point in this (and a lot of the distinctions between the kingdoms and empires)

can someone explain to me what getting three man squads instead of four, or multiple caravans instead of one, has to do with being an evil empire? (or whatever the current concept behind empires is)

what does it add to the game other than making it more difficult to balance
