Trade Routes
Trade routes require Trade Post level 3 and committed trade ships.
Trade routes let ports exchange resources over time when the right buildings, Trade Ships, and diplomatic relationship are in place.
Trade routes are recurring resource flows rather than instant transfers. More Trade Ship capacity lets you commit larger movement, but those ships are weak in combat and should not be treated as battle fleets.
