The '''Trading Hub''' is your marketplace. It gives access to the [[Market]], where resources are bought and sold for Gold, and it trains [[Trade Cart]]s, which earn Gold on routes to an ally's Trading Hub.<br />
<br />
== The market ==<br />
Select a finished Trading Hub of yours and press '''Open Marketplace'''. See [[Market]] for how buying, selling and prices work.<br />
<br />

* '''Starting a route:''' select trade carts and right-click a finished Trading Hub that belongs to an '''ally'''.<br />
* '''Allies only.''' A route to your own Trading Hub is always refused. Only players on the same team count as allies.<br />
* The cart travels from its home hub (the hub that trained it) to the ally's hub and back, again and again. It is paid '''when it returns home'''.<br />
* If its home hub is lost, the cart uses your nearest other finished Trading Hub. With none left, the route ends.<br />
* '''Pay per round trip''' depends on the straight-line distance between the two hubs:<br />
:: ''Gold = 0.4 × (distance in metres − 40)'', rounded, with a maximum of '''120''' per trip.<br />

| 340 m or more || 120 (the maximum)<br />
|}<br />
* Only the cart's owner is paid.<br />
* A route ends if the cart is given a move or attack order, if it dies, or if the destination hub is destroyed or no longer belongs to an ally.<br />
* While on a route the cart shows a pile of cargo.<br />
<br />
[[Trade Ship]]s run the same kind of route by water, between allied [[Fishing Docks]]. See [[Naval]].<br />
<br />
== Notes ==<br />
* The AI builds a Trading Hub during the game, but it does not train trade carts.<br />
