Option A - Welcome Them

The visitors are friendly.

Trade begins, and they bring valuable goods your people haven't seen before.

But something changes.

They begin building a small permanent trading post near the coast.

They say it will make future trade easier.

They also begin forming friendships with some local leaders.

What do you do?

A1. Allow the trading post. More trade means more money.

A2. Allow trade, but order them to remove the permanent settlement.

A3. Encourage them to build an even larger port so your kingdom becomes the center of regional trade.
