Trade
The Marketplace enables you to trade your 3 resources, Stone, Wood and Silver Coins.
On the island only one of these raw materials is bountiful, and there is another resource in which there is a lack of, plays the Deal, especially to start with Farming Villages, which play a large role. For only so it is possible to have sufficient each raw material to the decree - and the Polis can grow and thrive.
Trade with farming villages
In order to balance the uneven production of the three raw materials, it is important to trade excess resources with farming villages.
Prerequisites
In order to trade your city must have a Marketplace. The farming village you wish to trade with must have a mood of at least 80%, so it is advisable to maintain good relations with these nearby villages.
Ratios
Once you found a farming village that is prepared to trade with you, go to the village's context menu to see what resources can be traded. The green arrow shows what you will receive and the yellow arrow shows what you must send.
In the example on the left you can see that the inhabitants are willing to trade Stone (
) and in return wish to receive Wood (
).
The trade ratio
The trade ratio you can also be found in the context menu (in this case: 1.09). It indicates the ratio that the village is prepared to trade at. For example, 1.00 shows that a village will trade in a ratio of 1:1.
In our example above the trade ratio is 1:1.09, so:
- For every
100 Wood you get 
109 Stone.
If a trade ratio generates a decimal value, round it to the nearest whole number:
- For 10 Wood you get 11 Stone.
Farmer villages usually only hold 2000 resources for trade at any given time, regardless of the level of your Marketplace.
