THE SCRIBE

Consult the Scribe if you would like to take a look at

his collection of graphs illustrating City Population,

City Funds, Population Tax Income, and Industrial Tax

Income over the past several years. Click on the right

and left arrows to adjust the time span shown in the

graphs.

THE MERCHANT

Select the Merchant to access a list of several available

industrial commodities and the status of each in your

Province. In a full game, the first column shows the

number of units of each item produced in your Province.

Note that the bottom four listings refer to commodities

available outside of your province, beyond each of the

four sides of the Province map. A ship icon in the first

column indicates that this item is available via overseas

trade, and requires a Port. A caravan icon indicates

that the item is available via overland trade route, and

requires a Trading Post. Building the appropriate

structure on the appropriate side of the Province map

will bring these commodities into your Province.

The second column shows how many units of each

commodity you have in storage. If you have a lot

of stored goods, you might consider opening

another business — if your population will support

it — to process and sell the excess. You will want

to keep some goods in storage — the Emperor

will request things from time to time, and if

you fail to deliver he will be quite angry.
