Questions and hopefully quick answers

ok.. so I am progressing along.. the other inhabitants of my island are so far unresponsive.. I have messaged them to ask that they donate to the Mill and Crystal mine.

I have gotten my academy up to level 3 - city walls - and I am currently researching wine press.
I think I have 4 slingers as well.

Now what?
How do I send out a shipment to someone?

I need some direction

[Mistfit]

and how do I expand the amount of housing for my peoples.. the thing says that I am at 110/110 so does that mean I am not growing?

[Mistfit]

also I see someone willing to buy wood at 2 gold per log.. he wants 200 logs.. should I do it just to have a trade partner? He is one island away

[Mistfit]

oh.. and if you are suggesting me to abandon my colony should I be building stuff here?

When you chop for wood yourself: one log per hour costs four gold per hour, so one log costs four gold. I don't see any reason why you'd trade wood at all.

You need a trading post to buy and sell stuff locally.

You should be able send stuff to cities close to you by going to the world view and click on an island. Island view comes up, you click on a town and are now able to choose "transport goods" or something. Sending at vaster distances needs the tech expansion.

Expand town hall.

quoteh.. and if you are suggesting me to abandon my colony should I be building stuff here?

You're on a crystal island. Not the best starting location, but I'd stay there. Unless you are bored with your non responding neighbors.

Indeed.

I would deem these to be fair prices:

wood - 12 - 17, but I frequently buy at 20 or higher
sulphur 15 - 25
wine - 20 - 35
crystal 25 - 35
marble 30 - 40

Note that this is my personal idea of resource value. I just looked, and the local market is a bit different. Actually sulphur is more expensive than wine.

I have no problem moving... there are some uninhabited islands to your north west that I could choose from. I have only sent a couple of days upgrading my town so it is not big loss I suppose. although I suppose moving 6 islands away from you would mean that we would not overlap as much on trading routes

You are the master so.. teach me

If we were all close, we could always offer faster military assistance, and trades.... so it seems worth it to me.
But its up to the master of the town ^^

I've got a novice question of my own: it says if I want to build a colony I need a palace. When can I build a palace?

You need to have researched
Field of Research: Seafaring

Description: Out there is more than just an ocean! More Islands await being discovered. We are not alone! We can gain ground on one of the newly discovered island, tap new resources and get to know other peoples! And our clerks are eager to administer even more!

Allow: Building palaces, founding colonies
