The Ultimate Guide to Trade Routes in Manor Lords

Do you think Trade Routes in Manor Lords are just fancy roads? Think again! This hidden gem of a feature is your ticket to effortless passive income – but the game is frustratingly silent on the details. Fear not, future tycoon! This guide will take you from Trade Route newbie to master strategist, maximizing your profits and leaving your rivals in the dust.

 

Step 1: The Trading Post - Your Gateway to Riches

Before you can conquer the world market, you'll need a home base. Build a Trading Post from the trade menu at the bottom of your screen. This unassuming building is about to become the engine of your economic empire.

 

Step 2: Unpaving the Path to Prosperity - Understanding Trade Routes

Don't be fooled by talk of the "King's Road." Trade Routes aren't about physical roads; they're contracts you purchase at your Trading Post. Think of them as securing your share of valuable trade flowing throughout the region.

 

Step 3: The Price of Power - Accumulating Regional Wealth

Trade Routes don't come cheap. You'll need a healthy stockpile of Regional Wealth to access these lucrative deals. How do you get it? Upgrade those humble homes to level 2 Burgage Plots and start exporting like medieval Jeff Bezos! Once you've stockpiled 60-70 Regional Wealth, you're ready to make your move.

 

Step 4: Establishing Your Trade Empire

Head to your Trading Post and select the "Trade" option. That enticing "Establish a trade route" button on the right? Click it! Now you can customize your route for maximum profit. Firstly, set your surplus: Control how much of your precious resources you're willing to part with using the + and - buttons. Import, Export, or Both? The left side is where you choose your strategy:

  • Import: Stock up on necessities, even if it costs you.

  • Export: Offload your surplus and watch the Regional Wealth roll in.

  • Full Trade: Become a master of both worlds, buying low and selling high!

 

Step 5: Advanced Trading Tactics

Need a quick influx of Regional Wealth? Focus on exports, but keep an eye on your stockpiles to avoid shortages. Running low on vital supplies? Don't be afraid to import, even if it cuts into your profits temporarily.

 

Step 6: Unlock the Power of Trade Logistics

Still struggling to afford those juicy Trade Routes? Invest in the Trade Logistics technology! This game-changer slashes the cost of Trade Routes to a maximum of 25 Regional Wealth, allowing you to establish a vast trade network for a fraction of the price.

 

Step 7: Reap the Rewards

Setting up your trade network takes time and effort, but the payoff is massive. Imagine a steady stream of income flowing into your coffers, fueling further expansion and even more lucrative Trade Routes!

With this guide in hand, you're now equipped to transform your humble manor into a thriving economic powerhouse. So go forth, establish those trade routes, and become the undisputed trade magnate of Manor Lords!
