Early in my Macedonian campaign last night, I had negotiable trade routes for both the Salt in Rome and Spices in Egyptian north africa. I would periodically send diplomats to negotiate a trade, but was not yet successful, though trades to both those places were definitely possible from Epririus and Sparta, I believe.
Recently, however, when I click the create trade route link from those provinces, the only thing that shows up is a greyed out Paeonia, no mention of the untraded goods elsewhere. (Even though I know I have open routes on 1-2 coastal provinces!)
The only things that I know that have changed are:
1) I annexed Crete, prior to this annexation I had "trade access" with them.
2) I was at war with Rhodes, though I settled. Not sure if I had trade access.
3) I am now at war with the Seceulids.
Any thoughts on why I can create trade routes to both Rome and Egypt now? The trade map still says there is 0/3 grain in Egypt and 0/3 salt in Rome. (Do these not get updated maybe if under the fog of war? I.e, maybe someone is already sending them everything I have to offer?)
