Trade Goods

June 26, 2006 5:58:23 PM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums
I have a question about trade goods. If you build a trade good like diplomatic translators or micro repair bots, you get a bonus in some particular area. Those items are also available to trade to other civs. My question is this, if you trade one of these items to another civ, do they get that bonus, do you lose some of yours? If you buy a trade good from another civ, do you get some or all of that bonus? Can't seem to find any info on this anywhere.

I dont know the full answer for this, but if another race builds a trade good, you can buy it and you get the bonus it provides.

trade goods provide empire wide bonuses and the to trade it means to have your empire included in that bonus.

Yeah. Whoever has it and everyone who trades for it gets the bonuses of it. If you invade a planet that has it, that means you can now trade it yourself.

The original builders of trade good special then lose the bonus but if u trade for the bonus u can never lose it.

The major benefit to building a trade good yourself is that nobody else gets that bonus unless you trade it (or lose the planet).

The only real drawback to building trade goods is that you use up a planet surface tile, and can potentially lose the bonus if the planet gets taken from you.

The one trade good I always build, no matter what else I need to sacrifice to make sure I build it before the AI factions, is Diplomatic Translators. Aside from the other benefits of a 25% Diplomatic bonus, it makes all of the other trade goods easier to get through trade. I actually prefer to let the AI factions build the other trade goods, though usually I get pretty far ahead in research and build some of the later ones myself because I'm impatient.
