Goods

Summary

A Screenshot of the current Goods.

Goods are the most common commodity to spend in Research , along with Supplies and Gold . The primary uses for goods are:

• Unlocking research achievements
• Negotiating with provinces

There are currently 30 Goods available, produced in goods buildings. Goods buildings leverage resources found in deposits on the map to produce a larger volume of goods than would otherwise be produced without the deposit.
Deposits are found in specific Provinces and are randomly generated per Account. In order to use the Deposit you must first capture the Province by either killing any resistance or by negotiating with the current owner.

Deposits

Every resource has its own Deposit. For example, in order to make Glass you would need a Quartz Deposit. Note however, that you can produce any resource so long you've unlocked the appropriate Goods Building, but having the appropriate Deposit will make it much faster. Therefore it is usually recommended to Trade commodities with other Players.

Goods Buildings

Goods Buildings are used to create, yeah, you guessed it. Goods. They are unlocked through Research & Technology. Goods Buildings are usually very costly and require a large chunk of your population. Your population being enthusiastic does not benefit your Goods Buildings.
The Goods Buildings share the same mechanic that of any Supplies Building. However, the durations are notably longer and the gain is lower. It will also cost you Gold Coins and Supplies in order to use the Goods Building. For example, a Tier 1 Goods Building would require 100 Gold Coins and 100 Supplies to work for 4 Hours.

Tiers

As far as I can tell, Goods can be split into different Tiers. Every continent(Currently 80 players maximum) will have at least 1 of every Deposit. However, this is heavily mitigated due to the fact that there will always be in-active players on your Continent. Luckily, neighborhoods get periodically merged to replace inactive players.
