Trader
Traders come with size 10 deeds and larger.
Traders buy and sell items, with the price depending on supply and demand. Each item has a base price. Traders only have the items people sold them. They only start with whetstones, merchants and village deeds.
They always have merchants and every type of town and homestead deed.
A trader placed by a citizen of a town becomes a town trader. These traders pay taxes to the town they belong to for each item sold. The taxes go towards the towns deed upkeep.
The money from items bought from the trader stay with the trader. The money from deeds bought from the trader go directly towards the king. Traders do not start with any money when first summoned, so it's a good idea to place your trader as soon as possible.
The king occasionally(daily?) distributes the money he receives from the traders together with the money of the upkeep to all the traders. Traders who own more then 50 silver do not get money from the king.
Traders must be placed at a minimum distance of 63 tiles apart and must be within a building, but they do stay if the building decays away.
If the town that owns the trader is disbanded, so does the trader.
