I think there's gameplay advantages to equipment = goods in this fashion (bringing the economic weight of your empire to focus on one city to produce units with great efficiency vs. needing to defend all your supply lines vs. interrupting enemy supply lines vs. capturing stockpiles as above) but the absolute nightmare of course is if the game turns into Sid Meier's Colonization and we're pushing wagon trains of ma
