Description

Merchants and traders do their business at the Trading post. There is always a deal to be made or a bargain to be had. However, merchants from far away tend to head for big and well known trading posts!

Building Information

The capacity of your Trading post - i.e. the total number of resources you can offer for sale at once - is increased with every expansion. The range of your trading post is increased with every odd expansion level; thus at levels 1 and 2 you see only your island and those immediately adjacent (1 island), at levels 3 and 4 you see 2 islands away, at levels 5 and 6 you see 3 islands away, etc...

• You can see the other players' Trading port level, so that you will know how long it will take to load.

For more information, see Trading.
