'''Trade''' in ''[[Foundation]]'' is done with neighbouring cities that cannot be visited. They will trade [[resources]] that have been designated for purchase or sale in the [[Book]] under the Resources section of the Trade tab.
== Overview ==
Cities in ''[[Foundation]]'' can '''trade''' with neighbouring settlements. When a trade route is opened by paying a certain amount of resources or Influence, [https://wiki.polymorph.games/foundation/Villagers#Traders Traders]from that settlement will start to visit the player's 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 [[Book|Royal Book]].


Each city is seeking to purchase four resources from the village and sell five back. Traders will pick up and leave traded items in a [[granary]] or [[warehouse]] that has been assigned to store the resources in question; any goods in a production [[building]], a [[market]], or in transit to a building are considered unavailable for trade.
If no tradeable resources of that trade route 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.


==Northbury==
Traders can only buy or sell resources from a [[Granary]] or [[Warehouse]] that has been assigned to store the resource in question; any goods in the [[Village Center]], a production [[building]], a [[Market]], or in transit are considered unavailable for trade.
 
== Import/Export and Limits ==
Players can control which resources they import and export in the Resources page of the [[Book|Royal Book]], by toggling the up (import) and down (export) arrows on each resource row. The number bar next to the import and export arrows controls the amount of resources that are traded.
 
If the resource is set to import, traders will attempt to sell resources until the player's total stock of that resource reaches the stated number. However, if the player runs out of gold or the trader reaches his maximum tradeable volume before that, he will stop trading that resource until his next visit.
 
If the resource is set to export, traders will attempt to buy resources in the player's stock that are surplus to the stated number. Again however, the trader will stop trading for that resource when he reaches his maximum tradeable volume, until his next visit.
 
== Information Panels ==
Each trade route panel shows information on the city and its allegiance, 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.
 
=== Allegiances ===
Each trade route is allied with one of the [[Estates]]; Labour, Clergy or Kingdom. Some factors in the game, such as [[Quests]], can result in bonuses or penalties to all trade routes with a given Allegiance.
 
=== Resources and Prices ===
The resources and prices offered for purchase or sale in each trade route are the same in every game. Actual profit and loss can be affected by trade bonuses or penalties as a result of Quests or Bailiff/Emissary/Courtier effects, but these effects will not change the visible prices on the trade route panels.
 
=== Volumes and Level Upgrades ===
At the bottom of each panel is a bar showing information about (from left to right) that trade route's level, tradeable volume per resource type, and the required volume of trade before the next level becomes available.
 
The tradeable volume per resource type (middle of the information bar) is the amount of each resource that can be traded each time the trader visits. For example, if a player wishes to trade in Planks and Tools with Northbury and the tradeable volume number is 25, the trader will only buy 25 planks even if the player has more available to sell. Similarly, the trader will only sell 25 tools, even if the player has set the import level at a higher number.
 
All trade routes start at Level 1, and can only be upgraded once the player has reached a given volume of monthly trade with that city, indicated by the number on the right of the information bar. This volume can consist of any combination of imports and exports in any resources. For example, if the number shows 50, the player can buy 25 tools and sell 25 planks within a month in order to meet this requirement.
 
Once this volume has been reached, after some time a messenger will visit the city and invite the player to upgrade the trade route, which increases the tradeable volume of that route. Level upgrades must be paid for with a certain amount of resources or [[Influence]], depending on the trade route allegiance and level. Upgrades are completed through tasks in the Mandates page, which must be assigned to the Bailiff, Monastic Emissary or Royal Courtier, depending on the trade route.
