How do you set Exports

[oldbear60]

My overseer of Commerce won't let me export my vast surplus of pots and beer....I also cannot seem to import even after setting up a trade route....Some help please....

You have to have a trade route set up with a city that wants to buy pots or sell beer, not just any old city. Make sure your trade partner wants to buy beer from you, not sell it to you.

Take a look at the trade route - is it water or land? If it is water you must have a dock configured to trade that good, and the dock must be fully staffed.

For imports you need a storage yard configured to accept the imported good, and it must have space available and be staffed.

For exports, did you turn on stockpile beer or pottery to satisfy some demand and forget to turn it off?

Does Ra hate you? He can make sure everyone else does too.

Is there a war going on? It can repress trade
