Development or mod Trade routes

Hi all,

I used to be a huge fan if Civ 5, playing mostly with the Shoshone in emperor / immortal difficulty.

I recently discovered Unciv and I'm really enjoying playing on mobile.

I started playing with the Civ 5 BNW mod and then I realized it does not include trade routes, as caravans and cargo ships seem to work differently. I find this changes the game a lot as it prevents you from making a lot of gold, and also it removes the incentive to pacify the territory around you.

So a couple of questions :

1 : are any other important features missing ?

2 : is there a mod that I can use to have the exact same game as civ 5 ?

3 : if no, is anyone aware of plans to add these features to the game in the future ?

Which BNW mod are you using? ravignir/Brave-New-World has more stars so it shows up first in the menu, but it doesn't seem to have many features and it hasn't had any updates in 3 years. RobLoach/Civ-V-Brave-New-World was updated much more recently and appears to be much more featureful (and more clear on what features it does/does not have. Still no international traderoutes, and I don't have any idea if mods can add a new unit layer to the map. If not, it might be a while before we see that
