About this game
Eastern Trade Tycoon: Inheritance is a simulation game set in a fictional ancient East Asia, where you can transform from a penniless newcomer to a wealthy merchant. Engage in buying and selling goods, investing in cities, completing trade contracts, and managing your family to achieve the ultimate honor of becoming the foremost merchant.
As you run your business, you can also experience life simulation—marrying, having children, and building a family that aids your trade ventures. Our ultimate goal is to monopolize commerce across the region, becoming the biggest merchant in every city while ensuring our family's legacy continues.
The game features 80 ancient cities based on real geography, from Yanzhou in the central plains to Luoyang in Guanzhong, and beyond. Journeying across the map may take a year in-game, but the potential profits make it worthwhile.
With 89 diverse goods available in various cities, prices fluctuate over time, requiring strategic buying and selling. Special city festivals can also lead to historically low prices for certain items!
Different cities release trade demands, and transporting scarce goods can yield significant profits. Forming a trade caravan is essential for cargo capacity and protection against bandits.
Random events add unpredictability to your journey, from lucky finds to thefts. Entering new cities may present dilemmas involving local pleas for help or family-business conflicts, each leading to different outcomes.
You're not just a trade leader; you're also a family patriarch. Accumulate wealth to build a mansion, marry, and raise a large family. As generations pass, you must appoint a successor to carry on the family business for centuries.
In addition to manual trading, establishing a business is a major income source in the later game stages. If you need a break, let your business generate wealth for you. Each city can host a business, and achieving over 50% market share makes it a leading firm.
Game statistics track your annual asset changes, most traded goods, and frequented places, documenting your journey. Building your trade empire and reflecting on these records will surely evoke a sense of accomplishment!

If you enjoy the game, leaving a review or recommending it to friends would mean the world to me. Will East Trade Tycoon still get updates?I’d love to keep updating it, but as my first Unity cross-platform project the underlying code isn’t the cleanest, so every patch is a bit of a battle and risks introducing new bugs. I still tinker with it when I can, and I’ll let everyone know if a significant update is on the way.Read full article on Community Announcements (pandaupstudio)Patch NotesOfficial
