hello,
I think there is something wrong with the orientation of trading posts and it is somenthing that really needs to be reworked.
"to trade" means "to trade goods for 1 gold instead of 2" in the following text
If you buy east trading post you are supposed to trade with player who is sending cards to you in first and third age. Yet because of the display of whole game table (you are on the top) you trade with player you are sending cards to.
What is even worse - lets say you play 4players game. You buy East trading post and player accross the table (the one you can´t trade with) builds West trading post. Now both of you should trade goods with the SAME player. And you are not.
The problem is, of course, in the display of the table. These two images can help:

It looks like a cosmetic problem, but it is not. Lets say one player has plenty of brown cards. His neighbours should be able to build trading post so they can both trade with him. But in BGA version this can´t be done. I have the game at home and when we play 4p game it is very common situation Giza, Rhodos are typically used for this because they have to build a lot of brown cards.
