Empire Bonuses
The Empire Bonuses panel lists all the effects that currently impact your empire, for good or for
bad:
 Faction traits
 Approval effects
 Luxury boosts
 Assimilated faction effects
 Season effects
 And many more.
Trade Routes
To obtain Trade Routes, you must have friendly cities connected through either roads (land) or
maritime routes.
Roads are created by building the improvement “Right of Way” (this can be unlocked in the
Research Tree Era II). Roads are used to link two adjacent cities, allowing faster movement for
armies and enabling Trade Route bonuses between them.
Maritime routes are created between cities on the sea by building the improvement “Cargo
Docks” (this can be unlocked in the Research Tree Era III).
