 Caravan Trades Help Manual

Training Your Officers
A well-equiped caravan is still only as useful as the people running it. Training your officers in the intricacies of running a caravan is expensive, but greatly increases the effiency and capability of the caravan they are assigned to.

To train your officers, send the caravan that they serve on to one of the Academies and buy them a few hours of training. There is a maximum of 50 hours of training of each type you can purchase for a caravan, and when the officers are fully trained, their skills will be at the highest possible level. As an alternative, certain expeditions may add training as well as a monetary award.

Since prices fluctuate based on the Persian Empire economy, it would be wise to shop around before settling on where to purchase training. To view information on the Academies and the training offered, click on Academies in the menu on the left. Here, you can determine which Academies have the best prices for training.

Note that while this information is current, by the time you arrive the prices may have been raised or lowered, based on supply and demand. Treat this information as an estimate, rather than the exact cost.
