Just so I'm clear, are you saying that you want us to buy those things or that you want us to sell those things? I have to admit that I've never paid attention to whether or not sales figures appear in the town hall graphs and stats.

I think it is just have them in the TPs available for trading.

Yes, the townhall inventory tab showing all the inventory in the trading posts.

I'm going to give this a go, starting from scratch with a seed I feel should be good for building a trading empire (Hopefully)


When Life Banishes Lemmons Trade your Ale

As the screen below shows, we start to the West of a nice lake which has the trading river go right through the middle, to the North is a second large lake which also is on the trading river. So if the Lemmons can build up fast enough this looks like a great place for a trading empire (I would make and sell lemonade, but no lemons  :( )


Seed: 19920106 (I think, will check that later)

Zephormite

Now you can start to see the plan layout to start with.
I have Wheat, Chesnuts & Squash as my seeds, so guess it will be Wheat Beer to start with. First screen shows the starting spot with single Wheat farm, and boarding house built, next screenshot shows my Forest Node to the South, in the middle will be my first market place providing the basis for building my town, placement chose as the edges of the circle reach to the farming community in the north, Trading & Fishing in the East (Last screen), Forestry & Hunting to the West to begin with.

I decided to use the town I've been blogging, Morita, for this challenge. The river on that map has too many trading post locations to give it up. If you want to see the current state, it is here: http://worldofbanished.com/index.php?topic=248.0

I've been thinking about this and I am not sure I can make a map with that many trading posts and keep it going!

I changed my mind. I'm going to start a new town. It's called Antre and the seed is 351988393, Valleys, Large, Mild, Off, Hard. The river will accommodate 45 or so trading posts.

I probably won't win in any specific category since I'm not going to be going for the most whatever in storage. Don't get me wrong; I intend to be a major booze baron. The point will be to sell gallons upon gallons of ale and acquire enough materials through trade to make a very prosperous and aesthetically pleasing settlement. Take that, Interbrew.  ;D

My city candidate for this challenge will be : Atikamek. i dont think my main river can support a huge 45+ trading post  (too much diagonals) but i ll try something ... crazy lol. probably it wont make me win but ..... you will call me crazy lol

Atikamek is the name of an Amerindian tribe from which my ancestors are coming from (from mother side) which lived (and still live) in province of Québec :)
i have chosen this Large Valley Mild Off Medium seed 284973182 posted by someone on this forum cause i really love all the plain space this map holds; a huge zone covering all the center and east side of the map. This map has a huge potential to produce tons of goods.

Screenshot #1 is my minimap, #2 is my seed, #3 is my first screenshot.

I don't know, @RedKetchup, if you can convince merchants to go into the lake you might get a bunch of TPs going there. Nice looking map.
