Market: worth leveling?

[Volponi]

In some forum threads, I read about upgrade the market till level 15 or so.

Is this really necessary? I'm still a noob (~2000P) and cannot afford such a expense.

Or Am I missing something, and trafing is key to success?

Good game to all!

It is important becoz 1 merchant can deliver only 1000 total of resource so u wont be able 2 trade a lot. At the begin lvl 3-4 is enough

build your market you will need it

I have lvl 25 markets in all of my cities. Being able to shuttle 100k resources to newly conquered cities is very handy. The difference in troops I can keep is, in my opinion, negligible.

So... Is it possible to trade with yourself, using 2 cities?

Yes you can send resources to any city in the world that you choose. Just be careful once sent you can NOT recall merchants if you hit the wrong coordinates

To clarify Trade and Send are two different features.

Trade is available immediately, but requires offers to be prepared by one city and accepted by another. There is also a trade ratio cap.

Send is available after 14 days, but does not require offers to be prepared. There is no trade ratio, since it is one way

How do I get a second merchant ?

[WiZaRdOfOz]

by upgrading your market.each level upgrade of your market gives 1 additional merchant

my bad, didnt notice error in my earlier statement till now.more merchants are given at higher upgrades.
