Hi, I'm just wondering what the trade improvements actually accomplish. I have them in all my sectors atm and I'm at peace with 2 races, but the is no trade at all. So I was wondering, is there any point in getting them?

Thanks, Flames.

How far along are you in the game? Do you have all of the trade improvements in the game or just that are available to you right now? In the top right of your sector view you will see the trade window with X/X trade routes allowed. Search your sectors to see if any of those are larger than zero and if trade is happening. The trade improvements will add bonuses to the trade income.

I can't quite figure out how trade is generated either. It seems to prefer border systems as well as larger systems.

You have to send scouts through alien territory in order to establish trade routes. You can't trade with any colony that isn't on your map. In turn, alien empires can't trade with you until they've mapped your territory. This is (at least part of) the reason your allies send scouts into your territory.



Also, note that the AI will freak out if your territory touches theirs, so if you can get a good enemy buffer state between you and your untrusty AI friends, it'll make galactic stability much easier to maintain.

I have a lot of the trade techs, in a newbie game atm so its not hard to keep the AI at bay while I figure everything out.

I have 4 trade routes in each system but nothing is in any of them.

If you play cravers you won't have any trade routes as they are always at war or in cold war (so no peace = no trade routes)



PS: WoW. "In Flames we trust !" Such a good name ! I saw them in Paris last winter. That was freaking awesome (with trivium in guests !)

Well it looks like I WAS at peace with the other races, but you know how they are, always changing their minds... FML

Guess I'll try for peace again and see if I get trade



PS: Awesome! I saw them in December last year! It was awesome! The only downside was that in the UK Trivium were headlining and In Flames didn't get as long a time on stage smiley: frown

I had good relationships with horatios (+40) so i think it's possible. (being far from them and being the ennemy of their ennemy).

at one point i managed +200 with sophons, and i still had no trade, i think theres a base improvement needed to open trade on that planet and then ones that increase its effectiveness



needless to say in a "lets conquer everyone mindset" i never once built any trade related improvements in the last game i managed
