⚖️ Trade
Exchange resources with other nations
You can trade with other nations privately, or use Global Trade at /trades to post open buy/sell orders anyone can fill.
Factories produce steel each turn — your first Factory does not require steel. Oil Wells produce oil and Refineries produce plastic, both unlocked in the Technological Age.
⚠️ Note: Trade does not circumvent maximum values. Influence is capped at 200. If you have the max amount of influence or resources and you acquire more through trade, your nation will reset those values to the maximum on your next turn.
Post an order offering one resource for another. Your offered amount is escrowed until someone fills the order, you cancel it, or it expires after 7 days. Filled orders appear in Recent fills and feed the price charts.
Private trades between two nations remain available from each nation’s page and the Trade Dashboard.
There is a limit of 5 pending private trade requests between a pair of nations by default. An active ⚖️ Trade Accord with that partner raises the pending cap to 8. See the Treaties guide for how to propose one.
Private trades and Global Trade both work while nations are at war. A 🛡 Mutual Defense Pact also offers a ⚖️ Send Aid shortcut on the treaty page when your partner is at war and you are not.
