| 9 | | Efficiency: |
| 10 | | * The profit increases with the distance, thus markets should be built as far apart as possible. |
| 11 | | * At some distance trade carts generate income faster than the same amount of men gathering resources. |
| 12 | | * Trading with carts from a market to a dock helps with increasing the distance. |
| 13 | | * Since producing a trade cart costs 80 metal, killing some of them can be more damaging to the enemy than destroying a civic centre! |

| 15 | | This is more than fits into a single of these txt-files, so splitting it in two files might be advisable. |

| 17 | | Notice the file also contains a name of an image that will be displayed. |

| | 25 | * Merchant Ships and Traders can open trade routes |
