Trade routes[]

A trade route allows to send out to a player or neutral faction one type of resource in exchange for a certain kröwn amount. The receiver receive third of the resource sent although not losing any kröwns in the process. It is usually impossible to open multiple trade routes of the same resource with the same trade partner.

Default **Trade Routes**
Resource	Resource loss	Kröwns earned	Obtained by receiver
Food	-6	+3	+2
Wood	-6	+3	+2
Stone	-0.3	+3	+0.1
Iron	-0.3	+3	+0.1

A trade route can be opened with :

Players (ally or enemy) : accepting any resource
Neutral factions :

Jötunn : only accepting

Food. Allows for multiple trade routes.

Kobold : accepting

Food and

Wood

Myrkalfar : accepting

Iron and

Stone at a lesser rate (+2 by default)

Relationship and trade rates[]

When trading with players, the amount of kröwns earned with trade routes can be altered by the means of diplomacy. A good relationship means greater trade rates while a bad one means poor trade rates.

Each active trade route slowly improves the relation, leading to better trade rates up to 50% more Kröwns.
When trade partners are enemies to each other, if either of them trespasses onto their partner territory, they would be at war for a month, shutting down trade routes and worsening their relationship.
