🏘 Neighboring colonies

⚠ Spoiler: this opens in chapter 8.

Once a ⛵ Pier is built, the smoke of neighboring colonies can be seen from it — three settlements on nearby shards, each with its own way of life. They don’t fight: you trade with them and help each other.

• Trade — by a trade route, like with the keepers’ islands. They pay twice the Trading post price, and for what they “need badly right now” — half again as much; the need changes every few days.
• Requests come to the journal every 6–10 days: “send 40 bread”. Done — payment in gold and friendship +10; refused — −3, too late — −5.
• Every airship flight to a neighbor — friendship +2.
• Friendship: strangers (from 0), acquaintances (from 25), friends (from 50), allies (from 75). The stronger the friendship, the more neighbors pay for yours and the cheaper they sell theirs.
• Allies send a gift every 10 days — their own goods.
