Ports of Catan
The ports in Catan are used to send resources back to the imperial powers financing the expansion of the respective colonies.
The ports of Catan are unique in the fact that each port is used only to export a specific resource. Oddly enough, the designated officials that manage maritime trade believed that the exclusion of other goods facilitated the regulation of trade.
Upon delivering a sufficient amount of a port's respective resource, the imperial power financing the expansion of the colony will send a shipment of whatever resource the colony requires. Typically, the colonies only send resources back to their imperial bases when they have a surplus of the respective resource and require other resources for their expansion or technological advancement.
