Become Mayor of your very own Nation, as you grow a small village into a sprawling and efficient city in Trade Nations! You can play your game on your iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, AND on your Mac when at home.
This title has an interesting backstory. The Facebook version of Trade Nations was developed by Bight Games. But it was originally published on iOS by another studio, Seattle’s Z2Live, which hired Canada’s as a contractor to design artwork and gameplay for the title. Both subsequently had a small dispute where they each claimed ownership of the intellectual property behind the game.But they eventually came to an agreement, with that it owns the rights to distribute Trade Nations in perpetuity on iOS while Bight is free to do what they want with the Facebook title. Trade Nations on Facebook appears to be a faithful port of the iOS game where users build structures in a medieval town and recruit villagers to till the fields, chop the wood, and so on. On iOS, the game is comparable to Ubisoft’s Castle & Co. And Capcom’s Smurfs’ Village; we expect that on Facebook, it will be compared to other medieval life sims like Knight’s Story and to any number of farming and city building sims.On the monetization side, Trade Nations sells a premium currency called Magic Beans that can be used to accelerate building or purchase special decoration items.

On Facebook, Credits is the sole means of acquiring Magic Beans. A standard currency, Coins, is earned by completing in-game tasks.We’ll have a more in-depth review of Trade Nations for Facebook in the coming weeks as the game grows on our sister site.
