Trade Routes Problem

In my current game, I'm getting the "maximized trade routes" notification when I try to form a new route, and I don't see how this could be valid.

Not counting any initial bonuses, the default number of trade routes allowed is two, correct? I currently only *have* two active trade routes, and have also researched two trade route bonus techs. So I would expect to be able to form four trade routes, now.

I invaded and conquered a minor empire, recently-- my trade route with them still intact at the time of doing so. But even if there *were* a bug related to this, I would still be able to form at least one more trade route, currently.

And assistance would be much appreciated. Are there any known issues? I'm currently using version 1.12.079.

Thanks!

You might have inherited some trade routes going out of the planets you conquered. Check your Trade screen to see if you have four active routes or not.

Whoops! My mistake. *smacks forehead*

I had been up all night when I ran into this. I was mistaking "Trade Routes +1%" for "Trade Routes +1".

My apologies.
