Sweet memories, of times long gone by...

Ambrosia has basically the same website for every game it makes. We ev'ers say that EV is the best game they've ever made, but other people might say that, for ex, SLITHEREENS was the best game they ever made. Ambrosia just can't maintain a big huge website with everything there is to know about the game on it. They may appear to do superhuman things, but they aren't "faster than a speeding bullet" (though Andrew HAS been working pretty fast on Snaps X) or "able to scale tall buildings in a single bound". They're normal, everyday people, just like you and me. They're pressed for bandwidth as it is, they can't waste time on little trifles like trade routes. I'm sure that, if Jphn Q. Public wanted to do a huge website on Ev, he would be able to, but Ambrosia just can't do it. Although I must agree with you on this: EV does need a big website to call home, though.

Just as a prelimenary precaution, that link doesn't work.

whole-hearted agreement. but remember, someone else BESIDES Ambrosia would have to do it. And it ain't cheap, either.
In short- Good Idea, but Ambrosia lacks the money or the resources to pull through with it.
