Oh man! This thing is totally brilliant. Gorgor and I tested it out this weekend to try some new things. He wanted to safely loan me naq, and since we are on the same computer we had to find a safe reliable way to do it.

The private trade broker (available from within your marketplace) is positively the coolest thing in the game ever. It is so handy and easy! Wow i feel like a salesman.

Here's what we did,

Gorgor went into his private trade broker (PTB, love those initials) and entered in my player ID 21575. Updated trade details so it found my name and had it ready to roll.

Then he set it to trade 1,000,000,000 naq (his) for 1 turn (mine). Updated trade details again.

Opened up his bank in a second window, withdrew 1 billion naq.

Clicked on 'make trade complete'.

It took his 1 billion naq right then and there. I got no message in my inbox by the way, just found it via marketplace on my own that it was a trade pending.

The cool thing is, this sets it up so that you can trade resources for when the player picking it up can do so at their own leisure. The naq is there waiting, or the troops or what have you. I went into my trade broker, opened up my bank in a seperate window, clicked on Do the trade, and immediately hopped over and banked it, spending it later where I needed in bits.

Brilliant! We've done 4 or 5 trades since then with friends of ours here. Why do it any other way? Quite easy.
