Trading Terrains

Trading terrains allow trading companies in your city to do business with other cities. This can help your city get the commodities it needs as well as boost its culture and happiness.

Trade ships have these advantages:
  • they require much less work
  • they have a much higher capacity
  • they can be moved

Trader's houses have these advantages:
  • you can build them if your city doesn't have good access to waterways
  • they keep functioning if you don't have wood (unlike the bigger trade ships, which need a continual supply)

Trade ships must be placed on open sea with open water on all four sides.
