# Trading posts

Trading posts are grouped by province and can be in groups of two or three. If the player manages to buy all the posts in a province, he can start upgrading them and not be able to swap them with his opponent.

{% hint style="info" %}
If the player completes a province, he collects a double fee in the zero-level posts.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

The player can upgrade the posts up to level 3 and the tax to be charged will increase proportionally.
