== Strategy ==
The Trader functions much like the Trade Convoy from Civilization: Beyond Earth: Rising Tide. It is able to establish a single over land or water (after researching Celestial Navigation) to any city in range, whether from your own empire or a foreign one.
Land route range is 15 tiles while sea route range is 30 tiles. These ranges, however, may be extended by establishing s in cities. Afterwards, passing through any city with a refreshes the range of the unit, effectively doubling it.
What's more, a Trader automatically creates Roads as it travels! This makes it immensely important, especially in the early game when the Military Engineer isn't available yet.
From the Modern Era onward, the land model for Traders changes from a cart to a cargo truck and the water model changes from a sailboat to a container ship. These are purely cosmetic effects and don't affect the range or yields of s in any way.
