| GoldenTowns Market |
The Market in GoldenTowns is one of the most important feature of the game. This is the place where you can trade one resource to another and even buy resource using your gold from other players and state. Another good thing about Market is that the trades is not limited to resources only, you can also buy workers here, skilled and unskilled, as well as soldiers. Great right?
The Market
Raw materials such as Vegetable, Meat, Wood, Iron, Stone, Clay and Gold can all be traded among'st one another. While workers, soldiers and artillery can only be bought via gold, it is possible to sell your raw materials for gold once you have reached 60% happiness for your town.
The trade prices are always changing depending on the amount of goods that are being traded off each other, so what might be a 1 : 1 exchange ratio right now might not be 1 : 1 anymore within seconds.
Just like the Inventory, the Market has 4 subsections : Products, Workers, Army and Finances. Each of the sections presents to you the detailed status of the stocks and allows you to make any asset type available for sale.

PRODUCTS
In this section you can buy any type of raw material by paying with gold or, equally, with raw materials. Remember that the raw materials market is local if you pay in raw materials or global if one of the products is gold.
Remember that after each exchange, the price varies upward or downward. The first step to initialize a transaction is to select what you wish to purchase and what you wish to pay with. The selection box (fig. 1.1) helps you select the types of products that will constitute the object of the transaction.

After you select a market, several items of information are displayed, such as the list of the most recent transactions and the current price. Write the quantity in the box on the right and click on the purchase or sell button. The exchange will automatically take place, but the price will change.

The box displays, from left to right, the current price, the current stocks of the product you wish to buy and the current stocks of the product you wish to sell
After each transaction on the product market, the price varies by +/-0.0001 for each traded product unit. Let us assume that you wish to buy stone by paying with iron, and the price is 1.0000 stone for 1 iron. If you buy 100 stone, the stone-iron market increases to 1.0100, and the iron-stone market decreases to 0.9900, which means that next time you will need 1.01 stone to buy 1 stone unit and only 0.99 stone to buy 1 iron unit.
You can also purchase products by paying with gold. Select on the left the product and gold on the right. You will see the list of offers from all over the world.

To sell raw materials for gold, go to the market page and select from the product box any raw material on the left and gold on the right. In the upper part of the page there is a blue button.

Remember that the purchased workers’ lifespan will be adjusted depending on your town’s degree of happiness. Workers have a lifespan between 10 and 60 days, depending on your town’s degree of happiness. Lifespan is provided by the formula
