Commerce (Basic)
From Alpha Centauri Wiki
Commerce is energy generated from trade between two human factions who have singed a Treaty of Friendship or a Pact.
Commerce is interrupted whenever a Vendetta occurs between two factions, or when sanctions are applied against a faction which has committed an Atrocity.
Commerce is more beneficial to the faction which has discovered the most Economic* technologies. CEO Morgan gains additional bonuses here as part of his faction power. The current Planetary Governor gains a commerce benefit.
Commerce rates by doing the following:
- Signing more Treaties
- Entering more Pacts (Pacts receive double commerce)
- Increasing the size and economy of bases
- Discovering more Economic technologies
- Economic related technologies include Industrial Economics, Industrial Automation, Planetary Economics, Industrial Nanorobotics, Sentient Econometrics, and Environmental Economics.
