Sharing related to trade routes
Trade routes are crucial for obtaining additional resources, and are even the main way to obtain more resources when you reach the settlement limit. To establish trade routes, you typically need to unlock merchant units by researching the appropriate municipalities, and then send merchants to settlements. Overall, you can choose to travel by land or sea. Land routes have a shorter maximum distance, but can build roads between foreign settlements and the nearest settlement in your trade network; sea routes have a maximum distance of twice as long as land routes.
If someone sends a merchant to establish a trade route with you, you will automatically share the resources of the corresponding settlement and receive gold coin benefits. The more resources you provide, the more benefits you will receive. If it is a sea route, the benefits will be doubled. In the Classical Era and the Age of Exploration, merchants needed to reach settlements to establish trade routes; in the Modern Era, merchants can establish trade routes no matter where they are on the map. Once a trade route is established, a trading caravan or ship is generated. Such units are generated continuously, so trade routes do not need to be reactivated once completed. But be careful, as these units can be looted by enemy forces!
