How do I establish a trade route?
I have recently picked up King of Dragon Pass, and I like exploring the strangeness of thin setting. Many of the things either make sense to me or I'm willing to try and figure them out, or I found some guidance online for the more mechanical things I'm less willing to try and try again, but I cannot figure out how to establish a trade route.
I have sent caravans with the goal of “establish trade route” to clans near and far, allied or owing favours or friendly, before and after building a shrine to Issaries, and yet no trade route was ever established.
What are the necessary conditions to establish a route? If they are met, how do I improve the chances that it actually happens?
Best Answer
From the manual;
“Increase your ability to support trade routes by increasing the size of your Issaries shrine, spending magic on Sacred Time Trading rituals, increasing your population, and creating a tribe. Also, finding unusual raw materials on your lands will let your crafters make unique items which can boost your trading prowess.”
You didn’t mention the last (or an Issaries temple).
