"trade_fleets" does nothing at all.

It's hardcoded to the actual level of port you own. When you build a shipwright, you will have 2 trade fleets.

One cuestion more, what can i do for make the trade fleets more long??? or is it hardcore? and the trade by land??? can make to trade no only with neightbours places????

It seems to be hardcoded to use the closest ones.

There is a variable to force a minimum distance to trade with.

However, increasing the variable forces settlements that only have options to trade with their neighbor, to not have any trade at all.

but the fleets not use the closest one... the game search the best trade economicall... in a "X" distance, can do to enlarge "X"???

Can't do anything except make more trade agreements maybe.

i remember i saw a screenshot some time ago, with some very looooong trade lines. something like from antioch to malta. i just don't remember if it was from M2TW or RTW. but there are some values somene can edit to make trade lines longer.
