PAE V Patch 4
Latest and even unique features currently available in PAE only:
A) Trading system:
1) Buy goods in one of your cities (only regional resources available) and sell them in a city of your neighbor civ. Maximize revenue by selling goods that your trading partner does not have, as well as more far away from your trading city. And vice versa. Purchase items you do not own, sell them in one of your cities and profit some turns from this new resource (for example, use bronze to build units without the need of a bronze forge).
2) Take profitable but time-dependent special orders from foreign cities. If you are able to complete a special order in a certain time, you will also receive special goods (gold carts, special units). These orders are not tailor-made for you. So it may be that a distant city needs a good that has not been exploit by you.
B) Distribution
Use your grain wagon to spread cultivable goods (eg cereals and cattle) or to relocate them. Depending on the city status, you may have a certain amount of spreadable bonus items in the city radius.
C) Promotion system
Experience how your legionary gets promoted from a simple soldier, the Munifex, to an optio, centurion, tribune, and legate. This unprecedented feature gives you an insight into the hierarchy of the Roman army. For infantry and cavalry soldiers, as well as for the late Roman soldier classes. In future patches - if this is well accepted by you players - it will also available for Greeks, Macedonians, Egyptians and Assyrians.
D) Opencast mining on hill
Without any ore or precious metal: no mine. At first, only open-cast mining is used at hills, where, perhaps, in the course of time, the ores comes to light. Therefore, mining is only possible on hills with ore or gems. So do not be afraid if you have hardly any strategic resources in your borders, or you do not have an ore for brass or bronze. With some quarries there is definitely something available soon.
