Trade

Cities in Foundation can trade with neighbouring settlements. When a trade route is opened, Tradersfrom that town will start to visit the city roughly every two weeks. The resources that the town offers for trade will also become available for marking for import or export in the Resources page of the Royal Book.

If no tradeable resources of the trader's home city have been marked for import or export, the trader will simply walk across the map from entry to exit. If a resource has been marked for trade, the trader will attempt to visit Warehouses or Granaries that have slots for that resource, and buy or sell up to their limit.

Traders can only buy or sell resources from a Granary or Warehouse that has been assigned to store the resources in question; any goods in the Village Center, a production building, a Market, or in transit are considered unavailable for trade.

Each trade route panel shows information on the resources available for purchase and sale from that city, and the prices. At the bottom of each panel is a bar showing information about that trade route's level, tradeable volume per resource type, and the required volume of trade before the next level becomes available.

Upgrades

All trade routes start at Level 1. Before they can be upgraded, the player must reach a certain total volume of trade in any resource with that city.
