599 crowns for 25 researchers, when I get 122 in a single expedition at the dock, seriously? Marco Polo was suppose to be a way to trade rubis and ntg, turns out he's just a travelling salesman. Very disappointing the nickel and dime...

yeah but the supplies are a good deal. got 300 for 400 crowns in total. That will help with a couple of artifacts I want to advance.

No, it's not a good deal. You can get that fairly easily at the dock.

300 supplies are not easy to get mate. I have dock level 8 which gives me 30something supplies when and if it becomes available. Those 300 supplies were a month's expiditions and maybe more...

I agree, I think this is maybe the worst I've ever seen him. Rubies for fragments is a sour deal compared to troop cards, and the rest is all expensive crown purchases.

If we're going to be fighting for rubies, it really feels like he should bring something more worthwhile than fragments. It's been weeks since we've even seen a troops chest.

I've never been tempted to buy anything at Marco Polo, and I have no hangups about spending money. I'm just glad the screen doesn't zoom in on it every time.

200 rubies for 100 fragments is really frustrating... What’s next? 300 rubies for 3000 food?

Any comments? What happened to ''free trade'' tbat Marco was supposed to represent?
What's the point of earning in-game currency if MP is going to end up a real life currency exchange?
Sure, crowns can be earned in game, then why doesn't MP offer trades in line with the amount of crowns earned in game?
eg: 5-50 crowns for purchase, not 300+
But why should trades cost crowns anyway? Crowns have a wider application within the game like speed ups for buildiings, troop builds, etc.
Rubies can only be used with MP, and right now barely even there!
Some would say this is convoluted, l say, more succinctly, screwed up!

I said this since the first time it happened - marco is intended to be an alternative to the regular sales, and should never have anything costing crowns. Only normal in game resources, rubies, trade goods, ntgs, etc. The entire purpose was to make free to pay players be on more of an even footing with spenders. That is completely undermined by having crowns as his currency.

You’re going to love the one weekend he’s going to offer a single 1 hour speed up for 300 Crowns.

At the museum they sell you only 10 researchers, 10 supplies for 99 crowns. Only 10 !!!! With a level 7 dock you can get 128 supllies, 81 researchers in a day and 9 hours.
