How does trade in Strategus work atm?

You buy anything in 1 village and further u sell it the more money you get?

How and to who (ai or player?) do u sell it by the way? i can't even see any button to sell anything (though) i have some wheats.

Come to Amashke.. selling price is 22 there 

[Mala]

you have to look under your inventory tab. there you can sell your stuff.

You buy from the AI and sell to the AI however fief Lords control the prices and can add a tax to the prices which goes to the fief.

and the further u go the more money u earn?

[Tovi]

Probably.

But the question is : is it good to decrease the price or to increrase it ?

What makes the prosperity factor ?

Does tax is the only way to get money from a city ?

1. But the question is : is it good to decrease the price or to increrase it ?

2. What makes the prosperity factor ?

3. Does tax is the only way to get money from a city ?

1. Depends. Low price is good for buying High is good for selling. Ideally, most of the towns in the center of map should have High prices while a small minority have low prices while all the edge fiefs have low prices.(makes trade routes from edge to center which is about a 50% bonus as 50kM is max and edge to center is roughly 25km perfect and quick) But that's just my way of looking at it.

2. You control prosperity of your fief High prosperity means you can buy/sell things in greater amounts. Still don't see the point in LOW prosperity as your S&D is low and replenishes slowly.

3. Yes.

[Tovi]

I think I will increase prices. That way, travellers come to my town, sell their stuffs and buy some equipment.

Can anyone explain the "towncenter" page?

Location   Distance (km)   Amount   Level   Item   Default   Price   Tax   Final Price   Seller   Buy
Tazjunat   17,719.921   20      Slate   15.00   224.20   +1%   226.44   GTX

What do these values signify?

When you try to sell something, you can change the price of the item. If you do this, it is put on the towncenter page with that price. I did that by error and made a shitload of money  but I still don't get the sense of it

But who buys it? Other players or the AI? And why would they buy it since goods are generic (although with different names). I just don't get the meaning of this functionality.

me neither

btw how does distance affect trade bonus? is it linear or exponential?

And how high trading bonus can you get at around 50 km and over? I tried out with small trade packages and seen bonuses between 15-76%. Not sure how high this will go on longer distances.

[Lt_Anders]

100% is max. That's at 50km though. Anything past is wasted.

[Mala]

Hmm, the system looks a bit abusable.
If i would have two fiefs, then i would set up one fore really cheap goods and the other one for ass expensive ones.
So i could coin my own gold.
