I never could get into Trade Empires passed the first few Oriental 
"campaigns". The AI traders are stupid, there's no way to warehouse products 
for later production/resale/redistribution, and no way to increase 
production of "natural resources" (ie: food, ore, timber, ect), so town 
growth is limited.   Shame. It seemed like a kewl game idea, just very 
poorly implemented.
