More questions for Kyronix, this time about city trade deals. The publish notes say that a Governor can open a trade deal with an NPC guild, subject to the following rules:

What's with the "citizens may use a trade deal for 24 hours"? How often can you do this? Any time your selection has worn off and the governor's trade deal with that guild is still in effect? Or only once during the life of that particular trade deal, which the notes say will "persist indefinitely"?

Also, because the city stones say, "Current Trade Deal: None," it looks like a city can only have one trade deal in effect at any one time. So, if a Governor picks one deal and the citizens hate it and demand he switch to another deal, the treasury might have to be replenished in order to do so. And then, when he picks another deal a week later (or whenever he is convinced to do so), the 2 million gold that was spent on the first deal is just lost, right? A waste of donated gold because the governor made a bad or unpopular decision.
Once a Governor selects a trade deal it will exist indefinitely. A player gets the buff for 24 hours from the deal by interacting with the stone. After the buff expires they revisit the stone to get it again. They can do this so long as a deal is active on the stone. 1 week from initial purchase the Governor may choose to buy another one or just leave the one they currently have. And yes, A City can only have 1 trade deal active at a time. And yes, the 2 million is spent when purchasing a trade deal.
