Yet another market topic! Your favorite trades..

[Chris]

It seems like the only thing we can discuss in here is the beautifull marketplace. I'm interested what you guys use it for. I changed my playingstyle so i don't need a market anymore, but I sometimes mix up my strategies. I used to be the biggest marketabuser around. Here's what i like to trade..

1. Iron bars --> Horses 2-1 (Best deal ever! I usually stop making weapons 5 min before PT, or even better put your smitty's on 1 bar and trade them horsies, I call it the horse parade)
2. Coal --> Treetrunks 1-1
3. Goldchest --> Skins 4-1
4. Iron weapons --> Skins 1-1 ( It's very easy to set up an early weaponsmitty for your xbows and let him make like 10 swords for 10 skins!)
5. Axes --> sausages 1-1 (Very easy and steady food supply!)
6. Goldchest --> Treetrunks 1-1 (this isn't the most efficient trade, but I usually have some spare chest to trade)
7. Coal --> Iron 2-1 (You can go huge on iron troops, give it a try!)
8. Iron weapons --> Corn 1-3(!) (Just give it a try sometimes and think off the possibilities!)

These are my favorites, I'm interested in yours.. Feel free to discuss

I'll add:
Leather jackets => gold/iron ore (1:1) Useful in lategame when you run out of gold and you have too much weapons anyway.
Iron bar => corn (2:1) Useful in earlygame when your corn is late and you run out of food. (1 iron bar becomes 4 bread this way.

My favorite and only trade:
Coal => Treetrunks

In really rare occasions I trade iron for treetrunks.

usualy i just do coal for trunks and at the end sometimes stone for horses.this is expensive but on most maps i have 100+ unsused stone by the time peacetime is over and can easely trade for 2-5horsies

I never thought of this one, golden tip if you ask me.

Lol even I do that Disco

i often trade sausages or wine for it, but it is 3 sausages or 5 wine, wich is okish if you have enough swine farms, but this is way better.

Stone for tree chunk. Rather a bad ratio (I think it is 5:1) but you keep your stone masons busy in times when you're not building large roads.

coal -> wine
