Enact a new subrule of Rule 2.1 “Commoner’s Economy†entitled “Free Market Tradeâ€, which reads as follow:
As a Weekly Action a Commoner may trade with the market directly: They may decrease the amount of any Resource to any value higher or equal than zero. The difference between the previous and the current amount of this Resource is known as the “Offered Resourceâ€. They may now increase any other Resource (of their Resources), known as the “Sought Resourceâ€, by a “Free Market Amountâ€. This “Free Market Amount†is calculated as the total Amount of all Commoners of the “Sought Resourceâ€, divided by the total current Amount of all Commoners of the “Offered Resourceâ€, rounded down. If no Commoner own the “Sought Ressource” or the “Offered Ressource”, the trade will not be possible.
For example: If a Commoner would like to trade 100 Coal, the total Amount of the Offered Ressource may be 1000 Coal then (after the Commoner has decreased his or her Coal!) and the total Amount of the Sought Resource, Iron, is calculated as 500. This Commoner would receive 50 Iron then.

Also fix a bug mentioned by Purplebeard. You can’t devide by zero.
old flavour text: “Trading should be made easier ;)
I was thinking of reducing the “Free Market Amount†(mabye just 4/5 or so), but I think it’s enough to do not count the Trader’s Amount of the “Offered Resourceâ€. If you want to trade a lot or if you are the only one, who owns lots of a Resource, you may not trade that easy…”
hit the wrong icon.
Per my previous comment; the equation’s missing a variable, it’s calculating the ratio of the two resources, but not multiplying them by the amount you’re trading (so you can swap 1 Cog for 3 Iron, or 10 Cogs for 3 Iron).
