I like this idea, so let try to polish it.
@methusu: you are saying that in a given province we can put good for trade related to that province. Well, lets try to make this more clear and functional. As example i take a stell province, then let say we can only offer Steel in that province, but at you say the good must be related to the province, so what good we are able to use to take the Steel in the province? Yesterday i was looking for my next province to be explored and i notice that every province is conected to 3 town and other 3 provinces, but the interesting of this is the 3 conected provinces are one of each tier good, i take one of the connected province to my onw town as example, the province is steel, to the upper side has a plank (tier 1) province, to the donw left has a gem province (tier 3), and the down rigth side has a silk province (tier 2).
What about to take the steel of the province you only can use the good of the connected provinces, now in the steel province the offered steel and the used good to take it, will have any restriction? Attending to the worry expresed by
@Nosferatu regarding to be able to stockpile tier 3 good to early in the game. (if a players already having a tier 3 good is taking the offer of a new player tier 1 good).
Any restriction in the rate of trade? Because to make a fair offer according with the game, same tier 1:1 is fair, but different tier has other rates for a fair offer.
Ideas, ways to exploit it, any coment related is welcome, help to polish this idea
