Mercenary Exchange guide
Everything you need to buy mercenaries during the Trade Routes tournament, on one page.
01What is a Mercenary Exchange
A Mercenary Exchange is a building that appears on the map during the Trade Routes tournament. There you buy mercenaries for Silver. Each purchase also gives tournament points, and the ranking is calculated from them at the end.
02What you need
Your city needs a Caravan building — without it you cannot send a march to an exchange. You also need Silver.
03Where to look
Exchanges appear in kingdoms all over the map, but you can only buy in other kingdoms, not your own. New kingdoms that are still closed do not take part. The march starts from the nearest portal of your kingdom and takes at most 2 hours.
04The 7-hour limit
Opening an exchange starts a 7-hour countdown to your next purchase round. In a tournament of about 24 hours that gives up to four rounds: at the start and after 7, 14 and 21 hours.

05Why speed matters
A fresh exchange draws dozens of players at once. In our observations many exchanges were half sold or more within two minutes of appearing. The sooner you know the coordinates, the better your chances.
06How MercAtlas helps
Send your kingdom number to the bot. It searches the kingdom and returns the coordinates of the exchanges it finds — no game login needed. Your first 5 searches with results are free.
