Every trade counts as a 'route', so that's five.

[Rolepgeek]

Damnit. But we're still limited to one marketplace?

Let me guess. Sea Ports give extra routes?

Stupid coastal provinces getting all the benefits.

[Haspen]

No, they don't. The max routes cap is 4.

[Rolepgeek]

Are we able to combine trades to make a single trade route? For example, rather than Ceramics for Food and Building Materials for Gold being separate, make them Ceramics and Building Materials for Food and Gold?

[Haspen]

Noooope

[Rolepgeek]

Aww.

Could you add an upgrade to the marketplace, like there is for fortifications, which increases the max to 6 routes? Like,  Bazaar or something? Please?

Anyway, since I doubt I'll be able to swindle you into giving me more trade routes (by the way, if we just make an order for food bigger, like, say, selling four instead of two, that's still one trade route, right?), does excess food and gold give me stockpiles/reserves? Or is this game purely about current income, and anything above 0 is wasted?

[Haspen]

A single food-gold trade takes one slot, no matter if you're selling 2 food or 10 food.

And no, there are no stockpiles/reserves. It's all about income and expenditures.

[Rolepgeek]

Hmmm. Okay, for trade routes, would it be possible to, say, sell carved jade to the capital in return for ceramics, weapons, and four gold? Or would that take up multiple trade routes/ mixed payments aren't allowed?

Edit: Err, two gold. Keep thinking carved jade is four, not three.

[Haspen]

It would be a single route.

Basically, a route is 'Province 1 sells X (or Y+Z) to Province 2 in exchange for A+B (or C)'.

Of course, there can be no route if the two Lords don't talk about the trade agreement first

[Rolepgeek]

Mmmhmmm...And of course, from what it looks like with the way barbarians are, the only land that can be gained is from each other. Which means we're always in an uphill battle/ cannot gain ground, only lose it.

Well, the final goal is to seize and unite all of the Provinces

[Rolepgeek]

I'm probably wrong, but I feel as though 4 trade routes is a major limiting factor. Maybe when we capture more provinces, there should be more?
