How Does Imperator Rome : A Guide to Trade Goods Work?

In Imperator Rome, trade goods are like toys you can carry from one place to another and sell for more fun coins.

Imagine you're playing with your friends in the park. You have a bag of marbles, and you go to another kid who has candies. You trade some marbles for candies because you know candies are better than marbles. That’s like trade goods, things you can carry and swap for more value somewhere else.

In the game, every city produces certain goods, just like how your friend might have extra candies or toys to share. If you take those goods to a different city where they’re more popular, you can sell them for more coins, it's like trading marbles for candies when the candies are in higher demand.

Some goods are better than others. Think of them like your favorite toy, if everyone wants it, it’s worth more. You might even want to carry those goods all the way across the empire to sell them where they’re most wanted!

Sometimes you can also ship these goods between cities using roads or ships, just like how you could send a note from one kid to another in the park, but with toys and coins instead!
