I’m on a wine island. I’ll at least be able to supply you guys with booze!! I have a boat now too. Looks like I need a trading post before I can trade you guys though. Edit: nevermind, my port is my trading post. ---

Looks like I need a trading post before I can trade you guys though. fuck yea… that could be a good thing… to channel goods back and forth… what we need is one of us to become a big time trade city… we can channel the resources through that person, hopefully getting good deals… but at a high volume… Then the others can make armys and fucking rock other islands… AND COLONIZE… Looking into that lol ---

ILC… as for trade routes, it appears that shit can get a little complicated [http://board.ikariam.org/thread.php?threadid=18708](http://board.ikariam.org/thread.php?threadid=18708) here is the FAQ. I haven’t read through all of it yet, but reading through the forums it seems really complicated… cool though. I’ll edit the first post. Brendan, wanna sell me some? I got 1K or so with your name on it 😃 (I have a port too) ---

ok, so not sure if we can do it across islands, but if you upgrade to get spys, you can see each others towns (and enemies too) if you sneak one in. ---

ok, probably has to do with level I’d assume (or map location?) BTW, keep the level of your trading port to 1 (downgrade if you already upgraded) people can pillage you and the larger your port, the more they can loot from you. just fyi [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/risk-simcity-with-a-pinch-of-civilization-for-good-measure/46848.md?page=4) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/risk-simcity-with-a-pinch-of-civilization-for-good-measure/46848.md?page=6)
