Trade Question

[randyripoff]

In the trade advisor screen, when you click 'Supply and Demand', there are numbers next to the cities that desire the goods you're shipping. What do those numbers mean?

I'll have to check later to verify it but I think that is the size of the city (bigger is generally better).

You're correct. It's indeed the citysize. So when looking for a good trade find the biggest city which is far away from the home city.

 

[randyripoff]

Thanks. That will be very helpful in choosing trading partners.

Be a little careful, however. The trade calculation is based on trade, not city size, and the trade values are considered after corruption. Government type and terrain will have a very large impact on how lucrative the deliveries are, not to mention distance from source (at least for the innitial delivery).

It all depends upon, demand for your product.More demand more supply and more trading..
