Diamonds;
Resources;
Different items.

Trade potential  

An abstract measurement which defines the possibility for a holding to earn additional gold which goes directly to the treasury. For annexed provinces the potential is calculated on the basis of population number of two adjacent provinces and the less populated holding determines the potential. The more villagers there are, the greater the potential. Trade potential cannot be utilized without the construction of imperial routes between provinces. Every level of an imperial route grants 10% utilization of the potential (of the less populated holding). Colonies follow the same principle, only you need to construct a trade route in order to use the potential.

For trading posts the potential is determined by the type of special resource it lays on.

For more information about Trade potential, click here.
