Trading goods with neighboring regions is a Manor Lords game mechanic that can either simplify or destroy your city's growth.
How to set up trade routes in Manor Lords
Not all regions in Manor Lords are created equal, most are missing at least one essential resource. To compensate for missing or low resources in a region, it is essential to build a Trading Post along the King's Road. Adding a Trading Post in Manor Lords requires a permanent Family to run it, which removes villagers from your overall labor pool. I never recommend removing the Family you assign to the Trading Post, as the building is necessary for the overall growth and well-being of your town.
Once all the basic needs such as fuel and food in Manor Lords are met, I recommend building a Trading Post and assigning a Family to run it. Under the Trading Post menu, go to the Trade tab. Here you will find all the resources in Manor Lords that can be imported and exported.
To set up a trade route, purchase it by clicking on the circular tab with a horse and cart. You can try to sell and buy goods without it, but I don't recommend it. Once you get a development point from expanding your city, you can choose the Trade Logistics tab to reduce the cost of all trade routes to 25 regional wealth. This is a great deal that I highly recommend, as some routes can cost hundreds of euros to unlock.
