Trading Post is a faction unique building chain belonging to Lycia, in a Total War Saga: Troy, which can be built in capitals and resource settlements.
Description[]
Spurred by the rarity of tin, a necessary component of bronzemaking, trade in the Late Bronze Age spanned a surprisingly wide and sophisticated network of routes reaching as far as the British Isles and Central Asia. As the Aegeans had yet to invent currency, commerce relied on the bartering of goods, often done through valuable articles such as cut gemstones or gold. In return for precious metal and jewellery, Anatolia traded wood with desert kingdoms, as well as a variety of weapons and even slaves acquired through military conquest.
Trading Post (tier 2)[]
Built on an empty slot. Can be upgraded to Caravan Station. Requires a tier 2 or higher main settlement.
