Traders do not work

[audrey]

I played multiplayer with my friend last night. After I finished the pigeon upgrade, I could see the market of my ally (my friend) and I sent out two traders immediately, thinking this would be like in AoE2 and the traders would bring back resources but they simply stayed outside the allied market, didn’t have any intent in filling they cart nor going back to my base. I have watched the guide video and trader works fine in video. Was I doing wrong?

Hi @audrey and welcome to the forums :)

Traders in 0 A.D. need two markets to trade between. So first you right-click the market of you ally and then you right-click a market of you own. The reason for this is that one can trade between two arbitrary markets, instead of just between one of your allies' and your closest market (as is the case in AoE2).
