Trade In the trade menu, you can purchase or sell food, iron, tech, or soldiers. You can only buy or sell 10% of the current total of whatever you want on the market. When you buy, the quantity goes down, and the price goes up. When you sell, the quantity goes up and the price goes down. Things can get quite expensive on the market, so try to avoid purchasing when the price goes up unless you need something immediately. If the price is high, and you have an excess of something, you can sell it for a profit. One interesting possible use for the market, brought up in Thomas' Ominix Page is the ability to use it to send aid international aid by having a friend in need purchase large quantities of something while it is cheap, and then having several other friends buy up all of that item to raise the price, and then having the original region sell to make a profit, and other similar scenarios. This is however, risky, as someone else may notice the prices and start selling themselves. |
