Indeed; I see the marketplace as a building that can keep you from running out of resources like gold ore, coal, iron ore and stone. Sometimes I trade for gold chests because it can be more convenient, but that's about it. But if not necessary, you won't see a marketplace in my towns.

Oh and let me add that it may also be used in case of emergencies, like no food or timber.

and now the young grasshopper converts to the market's way's and it shall walk it's path.

TDL, how can I build a market if I have no timber?? Teach me master ;p

You trade food for timber, and then build a market.

Ask sado. I hear he is the master at running out of timber (even before building an inn!!) so he probably has experience in this situation.

EDIT: curse you sado. You were faster, and now my post looks stupid and out of place!

Some say he regularly trades two horses for one tree trunk.
And that he builds 5 markets to do so.
All we now is, he's NOT sado. But he IS sado's market-abusing cousin!

Dark Lord dislike to Market points to 2.0 and earlier versions, because of having obvious advantage over normal production (at early base phase).
Actually if you read him, he agrees with market after PT... the motive he builds it in corner is just to tease with his reputation. Good luck guys.

Sooo guys, this topic isnt that active now sooo I decided to post a nice replay here(Well its "noobgaming v1.2, but ok):

Wow not even on some spot where people won't see it!

Of course not! He even wrote "And I can finally spam after 2 hours. Thanks to the market", or something like this :p

After 2 hours? LOL the game finished after 1:58 or not?

It did, but I guess he just didn't care about those 5 minutes... he started spamming at about 1:55
