Hello,
I have recently set up a couple of caravans, which started providing excellent returns. They produced much more daily income than my breweries (set up in grain rich provinces). But then, they were attacked and lost everything.
I had read some posts saying caravans get attacked non stop in late game, but I think am at an early game (Spring 17, 1086), not sure how many game days that is.
So going back to whether caravans are worth it. Mine averaged about $250/day. So, it would take about 60 game days to just recoup your initial investment ($15,000 initial investment for extra guards divided by $250/day, that's 60 game days). I should've paid more attention to when I started the caravan and the date I lost it to see how many days it ran. So is it really worth the investment if the caravan does not last long out there?
By the way, my faction was at war against another faction and my caravans crossed the enemy territory several times with no attacks. My faction seeks peace, and both caravans are attacked by some special brigand (not the usual looters/bandits), unfortunately I could not figure out how to go back and search the news that said my caravans were attacked by "so and so" to track the son***** who did it. I would appreciate if you guys know how to track the attackers.
Thank you,
APC
