Must have Trading Port?
Not sure about that all trades have to have a Trading Port ? When I make my next colony I will verify if this is true or not, or someone else who knows can change that. ..Agathon.. 19:38, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Trade Treaties
I know very little about this right now but will return when I know more unless someone else takes this on. ..Agathon.. 19:38, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Market prices
How do I get any idea of what is a reasonable price for what I offer or want? Robin Patterson 09:51, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Bying at a higher price
If I choose to pay more than the offering price, will this give me higher priority?

After you enter a trade treaty, how to you act upon it?
1. What do you phyiscally do in the game to enter a trade treaty with another player?

2. What happens in the game when another player declines your trade treaty? (i.e. How do you know the answer)

3. What happens in the game when another player accepts your trade treaty? (i.e. How do you know the answer)

4. Where does that trade treay appear?

5. How does the trade treaty work?

How do you physically make trades?
I find the "I am looking for" vs. "I offer" vs. "Own offers" very confusing. Could this entry be expanded by someone who understands it to explain how these different functions work? Screen shots are helpful!

Several buyers for same seller
Consider the following:

Player A is selling 500 units of a resource.

Player B is on the same island and tries to purchase all 500. Player B sends out 1 ship.

10 seconds later, player C tries to buy the same 500, but from several islands away.

What happens?

-Can player C even see the offer any more? Can the player send the ship? Will the player know if anyone else bought the resources?
