Basic gameplay

Create your caravan, visit different settlements in the world built by the game, buy and hoard goods, buy goods at low prices, and sell your goods for profit when the price of goods rises. At the same time, you must also manage your caravan to ensure that there are enough guards recruited to avoid the looting of goods; there are enough transport vehicles and volumes to ensure that you can hold the goods you stockpile.

Game world

In the beautiful game world, there are many human settlements, you can buy goods at a low price in one settlement, and transport the goods to other settlements to sell at a high price.
According to the scale, settlements are mainly divided into three levels: big cities, small towns, and villages. Different levels of settlements produce different commodities and quantities, and their spending power will also vary.

Places of settlements

Market:In the market, you can buy local products, and you can also sell goods purchased elsewhere.
Hotels:Rest places to rest in hotels to refresh your energy, while you can also quickly pass a period of time and wait for different changes in the price of goods to decide whether to buy or sell something.
Tavern:Recruit guards, buy transport, listen to sales information, etc. here.
Bank:Store your cash to avoid being robbed. You can also take out loans and repayments.

Buy, Transportation, Sell

Buy:Visit different settlements, check the market there, and buy goods at low prices.
Transportation:Use your caravan to transport goods to other locations, for this you may need to organize enough escorts for the caravan to ensure that it is not robbed in transit. You also need to ensure that the caravan has enough vehicles to transport your goods.
Sale:Some items are selling well in the place? Set up your booth today and put your wares on the shelves. The popularity of the product, your selling price, your influence in the area, and the spending power of people in the area will all affect the sales of the product.

Open a store

Is it too much of a hassle to both source and ship items and sell them? After accumulating enough influence and funds, you can also build your own store, and once you have a store, you can hire store staff to help take care of your store for you. You're only responsible for sourcing items from other regions, shipping them back, specifying a reasonable price for the items to hit the shelves, and leaving the rest to the clerk.
