Trading Port

    you'll want to build a sea charts to increase speed, although the biggest boost will come from using a posiden miracle which cuts travel time in half.


    There is also a form of government that will increase cargo ship speed.. although I don't' recall which one atm..

    Loading speed becomes VERY important later in the game when your'e moving large amounts of goods it cane take hours to load stuff with a low trading port, so try to upgrade it when you can.

    Does leveling the Trading Port lessen the travel time or is it just about loading spd?


    Just loading speed. To increase travel speed you need the Sea Chart Archive or the Poseidon miracle or both. Nomocracy will slow loading speed and the Hermes miracle will boost it, and you can build a second Trading Port for a further speed increase.


    Later in the game you will be shifting millions of resources and you will appreciate the benefits of high level ports.

    Oligarchy gives a +10% . Trade off is corruption in all towns but the Capital + 20% increased building time.

    I use Oligarchy on my Godly Protection account. Easily the best option for any heavy trader. To avoid corruption, just level up your Gov. Res. to one level higher than "necessary to avoid normal corruption".
