New gameplay mechanics in Age of Empires 4

What do you think the other upgrades do? Starting top left and going left to right top to bottom:

  1. They show us this is fresh foodstuff and reduces villager cost
  2. This seems related to camels.
  3. Maybe improves imams or research
  4. This looks like it is for trade carts. Plus sign with gold means extra gold.
  5. We know this is called agriculture and improves farm gather rate
  6. Called camel rider shields and increases camel armor
  7. Increases tower health maybe
  8. Looks very similar to camel rider shields upgrade but with trade cart so must improve trade cart armor.
  9. Picture of gold. Maybe improves gather rate of gold. Maybe similar to burgundian vineyards in age of empires 2
  10. Looks like training dummy outside barracks. Maybe increase barracks production speed.
  11. Called faith and lets imam convert single unit without holding relic
  12. called grand bazaar and lets trader return with secondary resource

Trade seems very important in this new game. Age of empires 2 only had caravan upgrade for trade but it looks like abbsaids have many upgrades at the house of wisdom and maybe more at market.
