Luxury Goods, what are they?

[mrobfire]

The Laquerware Workshops [http://www.totalwars.ru/encyclopedia...querware.html] provides +20 luxury goods. I can't find a description anywhere of what these do though. Am I missing something obvious somewhere? Are they a prerequisite for something?

I would think they are a trade resource. So producing them would raise your trade income.

I believe they are a trade good, allowing you to trade for things like horses and other goods your provinces may lack.

Isn`t it the chinese silk? If not it is sure another ressource you could trade with ships.
