Trading City
Trade Depot
Trade HQ
Trade Port

Cities specialized in trading buy and sell commodities on the Global Market to generate profit. The key to successful trading is importing resources when their prices are low and exporting them when their prices are high. A Trade Depot must be constructed before the player can start trading. A trade port can be constructed to accelerate the trading processes. A city specialized in trading will have many trucks and cargo ships moving goods into and out of the city.

  • Buy low, sell high is the main principle.
  • Having adequate meanings of transportation is crucial for a Trade city.
  • Trade port can only be constructed in cities with port access.

Trading is one of the big business specializations with its own global leaderboard.
