Step 1: Organise one buy order arranged as you wish, for a small amount (say, 100 bushels).

Step 2: Click "Create Order"

Step 3: Press "F5" to refresh the page and create a second order similar to the first.

Step 4: Repeat Step 3 to place as many orders as needed, or put in a different amount and run through the steps again.

Step 5: Enjoy the extra minutes gained by not having to grind out the same steps repeatedly!

The above is accurate 25% of the time, truthful 50% of the time, and facetious 100% of the time.

Problem solved.

Not that it was a problem, but now there is just one extra click that needs to be done...

I suppose it does now conform to the overall standard.

So it's your fault that traders have to check 20 checkboxes instead of 2!

Burn the witch!

Get your tar here! Tar and feathers here for low prices! First purchase for 2 gold, every purchase after that is 5 gold!

Every purchase costs twice as much as the next purchase.

I wouldn't mind adding a "post another identical offer" as an official feature.

However, I do want to invite region lords to post large offers so traders to have something to broker. I know the system still isn't perfect and needs some tuning. But lots of small offers should not be the solution.

Huh?  If they post lots of smaller offers, it's easier to broker.

It's also easier for Lords to trade without a Trader by 'partially' fulfilling offers like that. So the Trader is put aside, instead of being of value when Lord A has 400 bushels to sell and Lord B has 600 Bushels to buy (though yes, it still requires a Lord C with 200 Bushels to sell as well).

My trader on EC has wandered all the way from Semall through Perdan to Sirion city and back down to Negev. I have yet to be able to broker a single trade. Almost every trade deal is locked to realm/allies. Those that are not are the oddball "Buy 1000 bushels for 10" or Sell "350 bushels for 35" style offers. Even the good "Buy for 30" orders are locked to realm/allies.

The new trade system is still pretty new, though, so maybe it will mature a bit.

I agree, people are so paranoid in the medieval age.  Get with the free market already. :P

Yeah, no kidding. How are we middlemen supposed to skim any money between the buyer and seller?
