Wealth
Resources needed

Merchants and traders do their business at the trading post. There is always a deal to be made or a bargain to be had. However, merchants from far away tend to head for big and well known trading posts!

The capacity of your trading post - i.e. the total number of resources you can offer for sale at once - is increased with every expansion. The range of your trading post is increased with every second expansion; thus at levels 1 or 2 you see only your island and those immediately adjacent; at levels 3 and 4 you see 2 away; at levels 5 and 6 you see 3 away, but some of the stated distances may be 4 or 5.

See Trading for more information.

• Requires: Research: Wealth

[edit] Expansion details

Please Note:

• There are some researches that help to reduce the building materials needed to build this building and they are cumulative: Pulley research reduces them by 2%, Geometry another 4% or 6% total and Spirit Level another 8% or 14% reduction bonus from the normal amount of wood and marble, sulphur, crystal glass, or wine required to build the buildings.
• The research bonuses are not shown directly in the following chart.
  These bonuses are shown by hovering your mouse over the individual resource numbers in the chart ( Pulley = 2% total, Geometry = 6% total and Spirit Level = 14% total).

If the chart below does not match your ingame chart and you don't want to mouseover the numbers to see how much the next level is going to take then click on one of the following researches should be the highest level you have researched to see the requirements for that research:
