Trader

Traders are required in order to take commodities between your own towns or with friendly towns. Traders can only move along predetermined or developed roads or by ship between towns with a harbor. Furthermore, they may only enter your competitor's towns if a transit or trade agreement exists.

Each new trader possess a trading cart with a capacity of 100 barrels. In most cases, this will not be sufficient, which is why you can have additional carts made at the inn. Completed carts will be stored in town and can be assigned to any trader. To do so, select the trader while he is located in the town and select the option Manage carts.

You can trade manually with a trader or configure an automated trade route for him, which is highly recommended.
