I produce 9 commerce:

006 Apolyton NW11 (mined bonus grass rd): 2 Commerce (road, Republic)
020 Tassagrad SW (mined grass rd): 2 Commerce (road, Republic)
Timeline wsw - (grass rd river): 3 Commerce (road, river, Republic)
Timeline nw2 - (grass river): 2 Commerce (river, republic)

How do I have 5 shields? Have my Timeline tiles been mined recently? (I haven't been paying attention to that like I probably should.)

There aren't any horses, that's the racetrack I built last turn. I told you a long time ago you should build a racetrack on that tile since its in 3 different cities' radii.

The icons are what people have built, the stack of lumber is a Lumber Mill, the paper is a Paper Mill, the scroll is a Bindery, the racehorse is a Racetrack, and the barrel is a Brewery.

The only horses in the current market all come from nye and I've offered to pay the bonuses for anyone who buys them from nye.

Another good site for a racetrack is adaMada's tile between Termina and Apolyton. It would use the combined pop of both to generate proceeds.

accept my apologies

What I do is look at what cities have the most available labor and try to decide what would be useful there. I didn't build a tavern in Timeline or Gaia as I didn't have Breweries that could service them and I would rather build them wher I am the exclusive supplier so I can fleece the city for all its worth.

After turn 15 try to get a tile with wine as you can sell that anywhere in the market, it doesn't have to be in a radius like a brewery. (Cities that are connected by railroads count as one single alchohol market though)

On turn 16 it would be smart to get tiles near large cities and be those cities sole Brewery. Then the only thing you have to worry about is someone with wine trying to steal some of your market.

Try to build a shoppe or eatery and an Inn in the same city. The Inn will increase the bonus to 100% and affect all retail businesses you own in that city. (notice I build shoppes AND taverns AND inns in the same cities)

Don't be afraid to bid HIGH for vassals and/or labor because the bonus lasts forever and you only have to buy the labor to build a shoppe, etc. once. When we get more vassals bid whatever it takes to get them.

The three tiles on the image below are in Timeline and Opiadom's radius so those would be the best places to build things. We won't be able to use Opiadom's labor for another three turns though. AdaMada already has a Brewery for Timeline so you would have to compete for that market but you would have Opiadom all to yourself. A racetrack would be a good idea if we can get the players to buy horses.
