FoE Advanced: Rapid Goods Transfer

It is possible to rapidly transfer goods between players through the use of unfair trade pairs. An unfair trade pair is defined as two (2) separate market offers of the following format:

TRADEYOUR OFFERNEEDED GOODRESULT
11 x Good A2 x Good B-1 Good A / +2 Good B
2 1 x Good B 2 x Good A +2 Good A / -1 Good B
TOTAL +1 Good A / +1 Good B

In this way, each trade pair results in doubling the amount of goods offered in the “Your Offer” column. This method quickly allows goods to transfer between players, even if the player being transferred to has few goods to start with.

An example of a trade pair. In the example above a total of +50 Rope and +50 Gunpowder will be provided.

Example


Let’s say the player being transferred to ONLY has 5 Wine and 5 Marble.

——Trade Pair Round 1——

TRADE YOUR OFFER NEEDED GOOD RESULT
1 5 x Wine 10 x Marble -5 Wine / +10 Marble
2 5 x Marble 10 x Wine +10 Wine / -5 Marble
TOTAL +5 Wine / +5 Marble
FINAL AVAILABLE GOODS 10 Wine / 10 Marble

——Trade Pair Round 2——

TRADE YOUR OFFER NEEDED GOOD RESULT
1 10 x Wine 20 x Marble -10 Wine / +20 Marble
2 10 x Marble 20 x Wine +20 Wine / -10 Marble
TOTAL +10 Wine / +10 Marble
FINAL AVAILABLE GOODS 20 Wine / 20 Marble

——-Trade Pair Round 3——

TRADE YOUR OFFER NEEDED GOOD RESULT
1 20 x Wine 40 x Marble -20 Wine / +40 Marble
2 20 x Marble 40 x Wine +40 Wine / -20 Marble
TOTAL +20 Wine / +20 Marble
FINAL AVAILABLE GOODS 40 Wine / 40 Marble

As each Trade Pair Round results in doubling both goods, in three (3) rounds the player receiving goods has 8 times the number of goods they started with.
