If you happen to don’t have fertile land to develop barley (or simply don’t need to), you’ll have to arrange a commerce route.

It’s so much to handle, so let’s undergo every step beneath.

Farm barley

Farming barley works similar to farming another crop — we’ve received a extra detailed information for farming right here. First, you’ll want to discover a great place with the barley fertility overlay — mainly anyplace yellow or inexperienced. Then, it’s time to arrange a number of plots.

It doesn’t sound like a lot, however that is sufficient barley to at the least get your ale trade began.

With a farm arrange, you’ll simply have to await autumn when the barley is harvested and may be became…

Flip barley into malt at a malthouse

In a buying and selling submit’s menu, you’ll be able to assign a household to work there after which you’ll be able to change over to the Commerce tab. That is the place you’ll be able to examine all the obtainable items — building, crops, meals, supplies, commodities, and navy — and resolve to import, export, or full commerce (both import or export) them till you will have the excess you set.

For ale, you’ll be able to import barley from the Crops tab for 12 Regional Wealth, malt from the Crafting Supplies tab for 14 Regional Wealth every, or ale from the Commodities tab for 18 Regional Wealth every. Ale requires you to set up a commerce route — mainly simply pay out some Regional Wealth to make a touring service provider go to your buying and selling submit on a daily schedule, quite than randomly.
