Trading

Trades are an important function for players, as resources will often be imbalanced from region to region. For example, cities in the Sahara Desert may have plenty of stone from their desert tiles, and will need to trade it for other players’ food and wood in order for their empire to thrive.

 

In the Market building, players can view nearby offers, or create their own offer. They can also view the current trade status, with all ongoing trades displayed.

 

When creating an offer, players choose the resource they are selling and the resource they are buying. They also choose how many units of the resource they want to buy and how many they want to sell.

When viewing nearby offers, players can use a filter to search for specific resources. Offers are listed by proximity, with the closest offers at the top taking the least amount of time. Trades with nearby cities may take a few hours to complete, while trades with faraway cities may take several days.
