Empty trade routes, both on sea and land

[Fretzie]

Hey all.
I've got quite the silly problem. All the ships and the people on the roads representing trade between cities have vanished.

I installed the game without problems, had everything fully working. Then one day the roads and the sea trade routes were empty. No caravans, nor trade ships visible anymore.

I already tried to reinstall the game, however the problem persists.
No modifications or whatever were done on my part. I play MTW2 with the Kingdoms expansion, patched to the latest version and with the SS 6.1 mod.

Anyone got an idea how to get this back? The map feels so empty and lifeless without those little things.

Are you playing on minimum with small unit sizes? Trade routes don't show up with those settings.

I play with everything maxed. Althoug unit size is on small, because I find that easier to manage.
Gonna give it a try and see if it changes anything.

EDIT: Changing the unit scale and starting a new campaign doesn't do anything. Any other thoughts? Thanks anyway.

Small unit sizes don't show trade. If you started a new campaign with at least normal size, you'll to wait for the the trade between settlements and ports to build before it will show.

You are correct. In fact, there even is no need at all to restart a campaign. Even if you started with the smallest unit size and later on, when the campaign is going, you change the option to normal or higher unit size, the trade routes gets populated again. And the unit size remains small.

This is perfect. Thanks alot for your help.
