TRADING POSTS
Trading Posts allow you to do business with
lands outside your Province. Goods will be
sent to Trading Posts by border towns in your
Province. The closer a border town is to a
Trading Post, the easier it is for you to trade
with that town. By building Trading Posts near
these towns on the edges of your Province
Map, you will receive valuable goods from
each direction. You will also increase the
demand for exports in your city. To see which
goods a border town will send to a Trading
Post, go to the Forum, and consult with the
Merchant. Any Trading Post must have a
Warehouse adjacent to it, and must have road
access to the capital city. Trading Posts do not
need Work Camps.
PORTS
Ports provide trade access to lands overseas.
When you build a port, it may do business with
the province indicated by the white arrow on
its side of your Province Map. A Port needs a
Warehouse, but does not need a Work Camp.
Goods brought into the port will remain in its
Warehouse until it is either used by a City
Level business, or sent to the Emperor at his
request.
Each ship you see in the ocean on your Province map
carries a specific cargo load. Ships come into a port,
unload their cargo, and leave. You may right-click on
any ship to see what type of cargo it is carrying. When
