Hi! Suggestion: Could you add an option when posting trades to make the trades available only to members of your fellowship? Thanks!
I wouldn't mind seeing a separate tab for sentient trades versus regular trades. That could greatly reduce scroll-weariness too
I do play browser. Hmm...for me, the sentient good trades are all in with the regular good trades. Before I built my 1st sentient factory there were maybe 10 pages of trades on a busy day and now an average of the 20 or more everyday.We already have that, if you play the browser version

Well well it is always a good day when I learn something new. Thank you!There are three check boxes, one to see only fellowship trades, one to see only normal goods, and one to see only sentient goods.
There is a checkbox in the browser version that allows you to only see FS placed trades. I don't use the mobile version, so am not sure if it has this. If it doesn't, it should and that's an idea for another thread.If a FS member asks to have a trade taken in chat it means I can have to scroll through 10 or more pages of evens a single good. If it could be limited to just the FS that would make it so much easier.
I see how it can also cause problems for neighborhoods. Consider an FS which is balanced in good's production. They could place all trades as 'FS Only' trades. That limits trades neighborhoods can see. Since most people in an area are in an FS, this could reduce almost all trades and there goes the neighborhood. I think overuse of the 'FS Only' option is a Con for this idea.I will just say that there is a certain other Inno game that is somewhat similar to this but has a PvP element that already has an option for fellowship-only trades. It seems to work there, though I know not every game mechanic is easily transferable, since there are different priorities in each game.
These are all good reasons and should be condensed and put in the initial post as Pros for the idea.For balancing, most people would post to the world at large. They wanted speed, not exclusivity, of pickups. For the same reason, if you were a newer player, you usually didn't restrict your trades to your group. Group-only trades were usually unbalanced, or cross tier, or some other special case that didn't make sense in an open market.
Consider if you wanted to offer some very generous trades to feed your fellowship (say, during a push tourney). You could select FS ONLY and allow those to sit there. It allows players to be generous and takes the burden off of the smaller players who might really need unbalanced trades to advance.
Also, as a newer player, you could place highly unbalanced trades or cross tier trades that your FS has encouraged to help you grow, and not look to your neighbors like a greedy little grubber. : )
Imagine the ease of placing those 100 trades during Fellowship Adventures! You could select FS ONLY and not have them snapped up by accident by helpful but clueless neighbors.
At the moment, in my trader there are 10 T pages of trades and 50 for sentient ones. That's very normal in my neighborhood. At times there are a few hundred and will be again when ch 16 starts. As a result, I almost always select the good I want to buy or sell, thus reducing the number of trades to look it. Yeah, it can be a pain to do that, but with 100s of pages, it helps a lot. With the new cross-tier trade balance, I have no problem taking those. Doing that also lets you see what is in demand du jour. Right now, 43 of those pages are wanting soap and 42 of them are selling bismuth for soap.I do play browser. Hmm...for me, the sentient good trades are all in with the regular good trades.

On mobile, we have a checkbox to see only trades with no fee but no checkbox for FS trades only. Not so useful for sentient trades.There is a checkbox in the browser version that allows you to only see FS placed trades. I don't use the mobile version, so am not sure if it has this.

Damn! You are right. (Am I allowed to say 'damn' in here?)… Regardless, I am surprised many did not point out the obvious flaw to this idea and why the developers will flat out say no: sentient trades.
I guess I am just an optimist. I do not think many fellowships would be able to afford hoarding all their sentient goods. I could be wrong!
