Bazaars
Bazaars serve the same purpose as markets did in C3. Bazaar buyers
get goods from Granaries or Storage Yards. Bazaar Traders deliver goods
to the houses and report back to the Bazaar Buyer what goods are needed
by the houses.
There are now two bazaar buyers. One gets food from granaries, and
the other gets goods from storage yards.Each of these buyers can buy
more than one item at a time. (The food buyer can get two or more foods.
The goods buyer can get two or more goods. They cannot cross over into
each others turf.) Both buyer try to find the shortest distance to their
destination using the cities road network. (no more as-the-crow-flies)
A bazaar's first priority is to replenish the items a house needs to
keep from devolving. Then they try to get the next item the house needs
to improve.
Bazaar buyers are destination walkers, and bazaar traders are random
walkers.
In Pharaoh you can instruct, through the use of "Special
Orders", a bazaar to buy or not buy any commodity available.
