Each town has its own resources, production chains, shortages and demands. Supplying what they need unlocks upgrades, new goods and lets you tap into higher-value markets. Build your trade network over time by developing more and more towns.

A dynamic economy system
Prices in the supply-demand based economy fluctuate with shifting world conditions. Temporary events, regional trends and other economic pressures can raise or lower the value of your goods, creating new opportunities or disrupting established routes. Plan your journeys, adapt to changing circumstances and take advantage of openings in the market.

Upgradable Caravan and Retinue
