Upon establishing a thriving village in Manor Lords, players can boost their Regional Wealth by exporting surplus goods. To kickstart trading, constructing a Trading Post and assigning a family member to oversee trade operations is essential. Additionally, hiring a horse for the Trading Post expedites the entire trading process.
Players can trade various goods by selecting the export option and setting a minimum surplus value. Some items may require trade routes, which incur an initial Regional Wealth cost. Opting for trade routes, even when not mandatory, can be advantageous for frequently exported goods, as external merchants will transport them. When choosing what to export in Manor Lords, prioritize items that command a high price and are easy to produce.
