The latest post on our developer blog takes a look at advanced trade (trade v2) in Illyriad. This is the means you'll use to trade crafting components as well as crafted weapons and armor in game. More info and a description of how the system may be used can be found in the post at our blog: http://www.illyriad.co.uk/blog/index.php/2012/07/towards-trade-v2/" rel="nofollow - http://www.illyriad.co.uk/blog/index.php/2012/07/towards-trade-v2/
 Standard disclaimer: (You know the drill by now) we don't have additional details to share yet and no official release date for the system. Enjoy! Luna ------------- GM Luna | Illyriad Community Manager | community@illyriad.co.uk

How about an unofficial summer -autumn - winter best guess? Those new trade researches taking 10, 12, or 15 days require some serious preparations...

Very interesting post! Looks like we have some difficult choices ahead of us! Summary of what I got out of the post: * 1 Building required to harvest each type of resource * 1 Building required to craft each type of gear * 1 Building required to trade each type of gear * Harvesting and Trade buildings create harvesting and trade units, additional buildings can create additional units, increasing production and trading. * Either new, or existing magic will require harvested gems to cast * Players can only post harvested resources or gear in Faction hub markets for resale. ------------- http://elgea.illyriad.co.uk/a/p/45534" rel="nofollow">  |

| Geofrey if it is to work like that the team work within alliance will be important since no single players could cover every aspect, so groupes of players would have diferent roles. |

Absolutly. But now the problem is, if all of your alliance towns are centered in 1 central location, there are only so many resources that will spawn there. So far the general alliance behavior has been central regional hubs. But now I think there will be a good case for very diverse locations. Something like the Dwarven Druids have will allow them to harvest all sorts of resources. But we don't know how the faction hub trading will work. It could be that in the case of the Dwarven Druids they can harvest all sorts of things but can only trade with a few faction hubs. ------------- http://elgea.illyriad.co.uk/a/p/45534" rel="nofollow"> |

gives Hub alliance a better chance at monopolizing a resource, they may not have a good variety but they can have their own items to trade or keep the world from obtaining. Also will the trade scores be reset after tv2 |

I fear the monopolization of resources is inevitable. I predict we will see sov. claims on permanent resources on the map, and troops being sent with harvesters to ensure any non-NAP'ed forces get destroyed if they try to steal an alliances regional resource. Begun the Land Wars have. ------------- http://elgea.illyriad.co.uk/a/p/45534" rel="nofollow"> |

I think he's right especially with the rarer resources and permanent mines. Also speculating about how a upcoming release will go is interesting |

The information given in the blog post at the beginning of this thread will be more accurate than the information in that old forum thread. Just as an FYI, things have changed a bit over time and that is very old information. We'll have more details at release as well, of course.

Enough teasers now, devs. Give us something new to play with, please! It doesn't have to be the entire shebang at the same time - it would be fun just if the npc's started dropping the animal pieces of bloodthirst for knowledge again, so w could start collecting something in anticipation of the rest of the upgrades...  Please?  |

LOL, silly little comments do not get threads closed, unless of course the are repeated again and again, or they are dirrected at someone. As you well know sugarfree. I was also expressing a view, or rather attitude (in relation to what you had actually posted about) and I do not see anything wrong in that. I must say it is odd and rather funny to see you speaking out like some forum policeman. |

So what are these 8 different horses used for? New units perhaps or upgrading existing units? Or upgrading commanders? ------------- http://elgea.illyriad.co.uk/a/p/95216" rel="nofollow">  |

| New units I would guess, seems that they will be race specific though so perhaps I am wrong, this is just due to the War Wolves on the list. |
