The maximum range on my page says 200miles. Also traders need marketplaces? :(

What island? Range may be island-dependent.

Traders need marketplaces, as do Lords when they aren't in their own region

A lord can never broker a trade that includes his own region.

That's a shame. It would be nice, at least if the trader is in range of his home region, if he could contribute 100 bushels or whatever to balance a trade--if there's a buy offer for 600 and a sell offer for 500, it would be nice if the trader could match those up and contribute 100 bushels of his own.

Updated wiki with new information--the 250/400 mile limits, and also a fact i just discovered--a trader-lord cannot broker a trade with his own region if he is outside of the trade radius. He can act as a normal lord, but he can't broker a deal with his own region when he's 1000 miles away.

The info is slightly incomplete. Here's what's real:

The trade distance is 400 miles for non-traders. For trader characters, it is between 500 and 700 miles, depending on their trading skill.
If the region does NOT have a marketplace, these distances are halved.

but trader doesn't have "his own"... and if it's a lord/steward.. they can just buy 600 and sell 500

Updated.

Be aware that this could change at any time as I watch things and I might decide it needs balancing. Or it needs to be a different value for different islands, etc.

As a Lord trying to trade with an adjacent region I get this.

Outside your trade distance, this deal should not have been shown as available.

Which region are you in, and what region are your trying to trade with?

why don't you put that in the "how to file a helpful but report" sticky thread? right now it says it's okay to post bug reports to the forum.

It most definitely doesn't. Point me to where something is written in such a way that it can be misunderstood.
