It's defenitly an improvement, but i hope there will be more in the future to solve the inactivity problem.
Right now it's really refreshing for me.
I arrangent myself with the market i had and therefore my production of goods was just so much that i can get my researchs done, here and there a negotiation and slowly fill my storage with goods, opposed to my first thought to produce as much goods as i can to negotiate much more.
Now my concept is screwed, because i have much more people accepting my offers and more trades to accept, so my production can't stand the demand, but i like it, now i have to think again how to manage culture, population and space to get more goods.
Even if it gives me some headache right now
