Overseer of Commerce
Your Overseer of Commerce monitors the city’s
industries and Storage Yards and keeps track of supply,
demand and prices for goods throughout the world.
He knows how much of each commodity is stored in
the city and tells you whether an item can be import-
ed or exported.
Your Overseer of Commerce also updates you on the
current status of each industry. Visit him to turn city
industries on or off (see page 55 for more) or to
stockpile a particular good in the city’s Storage Yards.
When a good is being stockpiled, it accumulates
quickly in the Storage Yards because no one can use it.
It cannot be traded, and Bazaar buyers cannot procure
the good for their customers. If a raw material is being
stockpiled, no shipments of the commodity will be
delivered to its corresponding manufacturer.
To shut down an industry or stockpile a commodity,
click on an item in the Overseer of Commerce’s list.
Buttons with your different options appear in the panel

tions with others in Egypt. He keeps track of all out-
