—In-game description |
The main features of the Marketplace map are the eponymous Markets, one placed in each corner of the map and also replaces the player's starting Scout with two Trade Carts. Each player also starts with a Pavilion near their initial Town Center. The Markets in the corner are controlled by Gaia and not capturable, but they can be traded with by any player (as a normal Market). This allows a player to accumulate trade profit even without any teammates, provided they can protect their Trade Carts from raids. Also present in the map is a large forest in the center, limiting access to players that are not immediately adjacent. The gaia Markets cannot be attacked by the players.
