Effect & research conditions
Research costs 100 Food, 100 Wood and 100 Coin and takes 30 seconds. The technology changes Market exchange rates rather than granting a direct resource crate or gather bonus. Its value depends on how far the buy and sell prices have shifted during the match and how much the player expects to trade afterward.
Research condition
Available from the Exploration Age. Research it at Trading Post or Tambo on a House of Wettin palace.
When to research
Research after substantial buying or selling has made Market exchanges less favorable, and before another planned round of trades. If the player rarely uses the Market or the exchange rates have not shifted much, the research can wait. Secure the House of Wettin site and preserve resources for the purchases that will follow.
Reset the exchange before the next market cycle
Leipzig Trade Fair is most useful when Market prices have moved away from their initial rates. Resetting them can make later exchanges more efficient, but it does not itself create resources; the player must still have something to buy or sell. Track the current rates, decide which resources are needed next and research before making those trades. Its value is therefore tied to the economy’s actual Market use, not simply to the fact that the technology is available.
