Patch notes v3.1.15.33391 on steam:

Hello Vikings!

We’ve recently seen a lot of feedback about the effects of the latest changes to the Marketplace on the Meta and how certain clans are now mainly played—sometimes skipping resource production entirely to only focus on producing Krowns and buying them. The changes we’ve made with the last balance patch were meant to open up new play options and to make the Marketplace and associated knowledge viable options.

That’s why we agree the effects they’ve had are unwanted and even contrary to our initial intentions, as they make those play the best options above all else and lead to less exciting ways of playing the game. But that’s also why we wanted to address this problem without simply reverting the previous changes, and that’s why we’ve taken some time to try different iterations and discuss those issues with the beta community to measure the impact of the new adjustments.

We’re now confident with the modifications we’re introducing today,
here is what changes:


Marketplace and Retail Outlet

- The resources of the Marketplace no longer refill passively. They require Merchants to be assigned to the building to accumulate those resources.
- The refill speed scales depending on how many Merchants are assigned.
- The refill speed of each resource has also been rebalanced.
- All resources stock are now limited to a maximum amount.
-Food: 300
-Wood: 200
-Stone: 10
-Iron: 5
- Resources prices have also been slightly rebalanced.
- The Seaport (evolution of the Kingdom port) resources routes (Food, Wood, Stone, and Iron) have been slightly rebalanced to match the new behavior of the Marketplace better.
