Trade income is determined past times comparison the relative merchandise influence of the 2 factions – the to a greater extent than merchandise influence you lot have, the to a greater extent than of the shared pot volition catamenia to you lot every bit income. In short, the to a greater extent than merchandise influence you lot have, the to a greater extent than you’ll practise goodness from merchandise agreements.”
The 2 unique units are skirmisher crossbowmen, Fury of Beihai too the other thing. They are useless, non worth their price. Ignore them completely. Instead, gear upward five crossbowmen (upgrade to heavy crossbowmen) too 1 trebuchet inwards Kong Rong’s retinue, too focus burn downwardly enemies downwardly earlier they tin attain you.
