Trade - We try to emphasis the trade by adding trade items into the system. Players can develop markets around their cities. Each market can generate one gold via any other city on its trading net. The type of trade items are added to the nation's pool and can increase the number of gold generated by the trade cities. The trade item plays a major role in the trade system because by controlling how many type of trade items a nation can access, it can signifacantly changes the trade income. Players will need to keep some treaties with certain distant nations in order to maximize their income.

We try not to over complicating the system so there will only be nine type of trading items. However, they are all treated equally so the players don't
need to go too detail about the trade items but focus on the trade route and trading partners.

In Strength and Honour 2 will Southern China be broken into Chu, Wu and Yeuh (making them playable factions). At least in an early campaign so we can recreate
the battles that Sun Tzu may have encountered?

Sorry, we have to reduce the number of castles otherwise the campaign just gets too long. We have Chu represents the southern China factions. Because the map
covers from Briton to China, the game play is more focus on major cities and main routs only. There are eight cities in China and four in Hun/Mongolian
territories.

I am currently playing S&H as India and it's a loooong (but very successful) campaign... Cheers |

It is still possible to add the sub goals for the campaign but probably will not in the initial release. We are lacking of graphic art supports and testing for
the sub goals so we are thinking to push it behind and work on what we have for now. The sub goal ideas were something like after the player conquer all the
cities belong to a civilization, a special item or popularity reward will be given, but we are just don't have enough time to test and polish that.

Will we be able to see what type of good foreign cities have? (so we can target those who interest us)...

Yes, you will be able to see other city's trade items. To see other city's production inventory, you will need to send in a spy.

Hi Ming-Lee,
Thanks for the new screenshots....look very nice. I especially like the new Merchant's options...what's the new symbol next to the auto-creation of armies for (left with the horse-carriage)? Just a question. I've noticed that the view on the strategic map is closer than in the original game. I suppose we can zoom out like in any other of your games? Love the buildings shown in the last screenshots but still, especially that there are less cities, i believe i will zoom out a little more when playing (like in S&H). Best Regards |

Thanks, Anguille. That is the merchant button. You don't need to wait for them to come like Takeda 3 now. You can just buy them if you have money.
There's another button for city's happiness which is not showing in this screen shot. We decide to re-activate city happiness factor in the later stage
while we were tuning the game so it doesn't show up in the previous ones. S&H2 map is scaled down in proportion to save system memory. We have
implemented the city label not to zoom with the map, so you should be able to read the city name a bit clear now. ^^
