LordGood Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 This idea just sprung to mind,How about we give traders their own population, increased by markets and docks, of course, but also have the possibility of building merchant tents in order to increase the amount of traders you can train. The aesthetic of an important trade city will be more apparent when merchant stalls are lined up along the streets, and it would be more beneficial to colonize for expansion for both farmland and urban development, perhaps a maximum radius for tents from a market. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanderd17 Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 Take a look at the Briton war dog and kennel templates to see how it's done there. It does seem reasonable for me, and it would be a great way to build your economy, while still having a big army. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niektb Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 LordGood, can you explain why it would be more beneficial to colonize for expansion? (I do not fully get that) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I do not fully get that) The further you can travel your goods, the more profit you make. If you have a very small territory, you can make almost no profit with trading.
