Tribal Marketplace
The Tribal Marketplace is a mine-side economy building available to the Haudenosaunee and Lakota in Definitive Edition. It lets nearby Villagers gather Coin directly from a mine and improves that mine’s total yield.

Function
It costs no Wood and must be placed next to a mine. Up to 10 Villagers can gather there; a Tribal Marketplace makes its mine yield 10% more Coin. Two cannot be built beside each other, and its placement footprint blocks nearby construction.
Placement & timing
Use it when a mine is safely positioned and gatherers can be protected. The extra yield rewards a longer mining commitment, but a forward mine under pressure may cost more Villager time than it returns.
Mine access and gathering limits
The Tribal Marketplace is available to the Haudenosaunee and Lakota from the Exploration Age. It has no Wood cost, takes 20 seconds to build, has 600 hit points and must be placed next to a mine. Villagers assigned to the Marketplace gather Coin from the adjacent deposit at the normal rate of 0.6 Coin per second, and the structure increases the mine’s total Coin yield by 10%. The building can support up to ten gatherers; its large placement obstruction means it blocks nearby construction, and two Tribal Marketplaces cannot be placed beside one another. When the mine is depleted, the Marketplace collapses, so its use is tied to that deposit rather than an indefinite Coin source. Haudenosaunee and Lakota Villagers cannot gather Coin directly from mines without this building. Place it only after confirming the mine is reachable and defensible, since a forward structure can expose a concentrated worker group to raids.
Research available at the mine site
The attached research can improve the same resource base. Fur Dressing costs 75 Food and 125 Wood and increases Villager gathering at Tribal Marketplaces and Mountain Monasteries by 10%. Cooperation costs 250 Food and 250 Wood; it provides a small Experience trickle while Villagers work and reduces Home City shipment Coin costs by 25%. Consider these investments only when the mine will remain available long enough for workers to benefit. The Marketplace collapses when its adjacent Coin deposit is exhausted, so research does not turn it into an infinite resource source.
