Tin Trader (Troy)

Tin Trader is a building chain in a Total War Saga: Troy. These resource buildings can only be built in bronze-making settlements.

Description[]

The increasing demand for rare metals in the Late Bronze Age led to the strengthening of commercial ties between Mycenae, Anatolia, and many other foreign powers as far as the Baltic and Central Asia. This was especially true for tin, a critical component in the creation of bronze, which was excessively scarce in Mycenaean Greece and had to be imported at great cost from distant lands. In return, the nation-states of the Aegean exported wood, ingots, and intricate carved items, but also manpower: it wasn't unheard of for Achaean soldiers to fight in Egyptian wars, and vice versa.
