The Trader is one of the three professions that you can choose. The advantages of this profession are that Traders primarily have a powerful production and a large amount of transport capacity. The disadvantages of being a Trader are that their ships can only be equipped with limited weapon strength, with a few exceptions, and their ships often become targets for enemy rulers.
When choosing the profession of Trader, the future task is to create added value from resources.
A Trader who plays within an alliance is usually assigned to a Freelancer or Warlord, as they typically require larger quantities of resources; here, the Trader’s task is to supply them with the needed resources.
There are several different ways to play the Trader profession:
Often a mix of these approaches is played. The race plays a crucial role in choosing the Trader profession. There are dedicated Prodders (like Wegoner), Routers (Plentropen), and Miners (Magumer). Essentially, every race is suited for raiding. For Combat Traders, it’s advisable to choose the "Warlord races" like Ozoiden and Morricaner. For an all-rounder, Jamazoid is more appropriate. The allocation of experience points in the game also significantly contributes to the development of a Trader's (or other professions') game account. The allocation of experience points is especially important and should be well thought out, as it cannot be undone.
