Only thing I can think of is that I sold half(killing the S&D in that location) and then moved somewhere else.

Distance bonus formula has changed.

Max bonus stays the same but the min bonus is now -50%.

So, you're telling me that travelling 15kM-17kM and make negative gold on it?

Noooooooooo.....

Basically stops a potential exploit of having 2 villages close together and not worrying about the travel bonus at all and just setting one village to high goods cost and the other to a low goods cost for a huge profit with little risk...

[Lt_Anders]

Well it effectively murdered that exploit. I can see how much it was used while I was planning the next trade route. So much S&D from high priced fiefs is GONE. We definitely need to work on prosperity/trade routes

I think -50% is too much of a hit though.  Someone moved 15,000 meters and was still at -17% bonus...

Impossible.
at 14k it's 0, 27km is 120%, 35 is 200% 47 is 300%. Sounds fair. I like it.

I moved 15,185m so far and have 10%. Sad thing is, it basically forces you to buy at lower prize and sell at higher prize. Buying and selling at same prize (15) doesn't provide enough profit now without travelling for several days. 

[Lt_Anders]

i can get a nearly 200% bonus by traveling 28 hours. It's not hard, you just have to find a good route you want.

[dodnet]

Well ofc it depends on how much you carry.
