Establishing trade agreements can be particularly lucrative and help us build buoyant economy. We can view our
current trading partners via the Finance Panel. Here we see the current prices for resources, together with our trade

presence to guard them.
You now have the knowledge you need to begin conquering your enemies in the campaign. For futher guidance, look to use the
