Building construction times dynamically adapt based on the Main Building Level in your village (at server speed 12500x). Use the controls below to simulate different levels:
In the trade office, the merchants' carts get improved and equipped with more powerful horses. The higher its level, the more your merchants are able to carry
The Trade Office improves your merchants' carts and equips them with more powerful horses, allowing them to carry more resources and travel faster over long distances.
📦 Merchant Capacity Boost:
Each level of the Trade Office increases your merchants' maximum carrying capacity by 10% per level (compounding/multiplying the base capacity). At Level 20, your merchants can carry 300% (3x) of their base carrying capacity.
⚡ Merchant Speed Boost:
In addition to capacity, the Trade Office boosts merchant travel speeds for long-distance deliveries:
- Minimum Distance: The speed boost applies only to the distance traveled beyond 30 fields.
- Speed Multiplier: For that extra distance, the speed is multiplied by the Trade Office's level attribute (e.g. 1.1x at level 1, up to 3.0x (300%) at level 20).
Level Cost and Upgrades
