Trade Routes

Trade Routes


The most important resource for funding your army is without a doubt gold (except for the Persians). Since gold is finite on the map, you will at some point have to start using trade carts. Obviously the earlier the better, but it's also important to build markets for the
carts to trade at far away from each other. The further the better, when it comes to markets, just don't make them TOO easy for your enemies to reach. It is also important to make sure no sneak attacks on your trade happen, as many games can be determined by having trade (in fact, this is how most games are won). Building a castle by the trade route will do you good. In the raiding section, I will teach you how to stop enemy trade. One last important note, you can't trade in 1v1 games.
