Trade slots

[unmerged(18701)]

I'm playing as Rome and I've just noticed that Ager Bruttius can only trade with one other province, despite the fact that it has two trade slots (I built a forum there). I have three choices for internal trade routes, all of which suply resources that Ager Bruttius doesn't have, and none of which already trade for wood, so i should be able to set up two of those routes. But when I set one of them up (it doesn't matter which one), the left-most trade route icon grays out, just as if there was no more choices for internal trade routes.

I think this has to do with the fact that Ager Bruttius, in my game, used to trade for wine with Massilia, but at some point a barbarian horde took that province (Massilia), which cut the trade route. A few years later, I noticed the problem.

Edit: Weird. I just saved and reloaded, and now it shows that I'm still trading wine to Emporion (it wasn't Massilia then, but Emporion).

Edit 2: Hmm, after a while the trade slot grayed out again, so I saved and reloaded again and went to emporion to cancel the deal. I noticed that emporion also had one other trade route. But after I cancelled it, it turned out that emporion wasn't able to establish a new second trade route. Apparantly they had lost their forum somehow, and still maintained two trade routes. I guess that was the problem.

last night I got a CTD when doing a request trade access on myself in the diplomacy screen. the game was telling me it was time for bed.

I had this bug happen to me last night, except in my case it was Roma that had its third trade slot always greyed out even though there were tons of potential trade partners. It's VERY annoying. Not sure it has anything to do with trading with a foreign nation, I had 3 internal trade routes to Roma going just fine until this happened. I assume this is a bug???

If it helps, i've seen this happen once more in my games, and I'm pretty sure that this is a display / interface problem. The trade route still seems to be operating because my province was still getting the grain bonus from trading, but the icon for the route is grayed out and it won't let you click on it to cancel and reset it or do anything else with it.
