This mod is amazing. It doesn't make the game easier unlike alot of mods intended to add new content. Rather it just adds another avenue to gain power.

@圣魔虚像, the shops only sell individual mount items for heroes.

Can this store buy mounts for the whole country

Appreciated! Can't play without this mod, Maigo

- Fixed a bug where the merchant shop structure income text was showing 20g instead of 10g.

@Nexious, thanks for the report! I'll fix this later tonight.

Merchant Shops still says that it gives +20 gold when you click on the on the world map even after your change. They actually give +10 as you changed recently

@Silent Service, thank you! Yeah the devs control the labeling in a way that I cannot control unfortunately. Cheers.

i hope labeling will be fixed one day, great mod anyways, we have lots of fun with it in multiplayer! feels natural and vanilla, except the labeling, also love the decreased income mate

Patch for the Griffon update.
- Merchant shop income reduced from 20 Gold to 10 Gold.
- Added 2 new Tier IV polearms: Glaive of the Jade Serpent, Glaive of the Obsidian Tortoise.

This makes me feel very nicely validated and a little bit excited. Thank you!

@HjAa, I agree with your assessment. I will tune the gold bonus for the next update. Thanks for the kind words :)

Hi Visie Maigo! Thanks for this awesome mod. Really loving it. I still think +20 [gold/] Gold is a little much, considering it's as much resources as your average magic material, but otherwise very much enjoying the whole trading faction system and the huge variety of items. <3

Added 12 new items! Many items have custom skins like the shadow weapons.

Tier IV
- Edge of the Abyss, sword
- Twilight Fang, two-handed sword
- Void Stalker, sword and kunai
- Crook of the Great Herd, staff
- Ice Titan's Greatbow, greatbow

Tier III
- Thief's Crook, staff
- Staff of the Blazing Branch, staff
- Staff of Winterbark, staff
- Molten Barrier, shield

Tier II
- Chicken Shield, shield
- Blade of the Study, two-handed sword
- Oakwood Longbow, longbow

A few minor updates in the Change Notes.

@Zenurik, thanks again for translating my mod to Korean! I have added a link to your mod in my mod description.

@Dragon of the South Wind, thanks for the review! Yes it seems like the new shops added in Giant Kings don't sell items, so this mod is still useful.

Thanks for the great mod!

I've made korean translation

For anyone wanting to compare this mod to the shop structures added in the Giants update, here's a screenshot of both structures that happened to spawn next to each other. "Merchant shop" from this mod on left, "Shop Structure / Training Camp" on the right.

The merchant shops tend to just have items and things, whilst the new vanilla shops you can buy hero respec, skill points, renown, abilities, and also attack them (their armies are very strong when you find them early game)

Absolute chad modder that updates on DLC release day.

I went here first to check if your mod still works! Thank you for your quick implementation.

Updated for the new patch! No big changes as I have been focusing on my other mods. The shops still work well alongside the new shops introduced in Giant Kings.

- Increased the cost of Tier IV items to 550 gold (from 450 gold).
- Added the following mounts to the game's Evil Mount item set, used for event rewards: Infernal Hound Mount, Night Terror

Thanks for the feedback everyone. They are adding shops in the Giant Kings expansion, I will wait for more details before deciding on the next update for this mod.

@Felix Fictus I just loaded a game with only this mod enabled, no issues. The infinite loading is likely from another mod.

infinite loading screen on start-up. needs an update.

Really think some of the items should be more expensive. 400ish g for a tier IV item seems too cheap imo

This is an awesome Mod. Love the idea of gaining virtuous relation with your market seller to obtain discount options. You've enhanced the empire mode and you also gave it a bit of diplomacy purposes. Something I wish AOW4 implemented the similar city expansion as Endless Legends. I hope you will do more building expansions this gives us way more reason to go out and explore. Bravo!

Hi, I have a few ideas for improving this mod:

- When new items are available in the shop, it might be interesting to add a notification for the player(s) (?)

- When you zoom out the map, the mershant shops have their own symbol and that's cool. But in my last game, I had to look for them while my gold was flying away... The ability to select only merchant shops on the map with a ‘select’ option could be nice. Not necessarily necessary though, but I've put the idea here.

- I like the idea of adding 20 gold for the site in your territory, but the downside of this design is that you can't enter merchant shops in allied or vassal territories (it's a hostile act to go to the square). I think it's a design choice for the mod... to add the gold resource or not. I'm neutral on this, I like the way it's done but there's this counterparty.

Anyway, great mod!

Thank you for your help :) The trait went well with my RPing of the Roving Clans from Endless Legend

@Togfar you can download version 19 from the Paradox Plaza to get the previous version of the mod with Clever Peddlers. Then you can disable it and use the latest version of the mod once you set Clever Peddlers on your faction. https://mods.paradoxplaza.com/mods/66575/Any

If there is more demand then maybe I can add back the society trait. I just wanted to keep the mod simple.

Is there a way I can unhide clever peddlers

@Nexious The devs confirmed the change is new and intended. I'll try some new tags or something when I get the chance. But I don't see many options. That's too bad :(

I'm pretty sure that Merchant Shops where excluded before as you could not stand on other normal resource nodes within the domain of a vassal. Perhaps it can be tagged with something that allows you to stand on it?

But thank you for reporting it.

@Nexious, I logged a bug for the devs to review: https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/cant-stand-on-node-owned-by-vassal-without-declaring-war.1714541/

@Nexious, thanks for the report. Seems like the devs changed something behind the scenes.

Looks like there's nothing I can do on my side to fix it. Do you guys remember if you could occupy a vassal's resource node before? I know you could enter a vassal's merchant shop, but I don't remember if you could occupy a vassal's resource node. If it's a new bug then we can report the issue to the devs.

You can no longer stand on merchant shops if it is within the domain of a free city without declaring war on it now. Please fix this as it makes them unusable if it is within a domain of one of your vassals.

i can confirm, that this mod wroks fine, i have alot of mods enabled too.

@Championxs, the mod should work and there shouldn't be any mod conflicts. Check that the mod is loaded and enabled. Also start a new game, then use the cheat console (Ctrl+Alt+C) and enter FLYINGDUTCHMAN to reveal the entire map. Then scan the map for shops to confirm the mod is working. You can zoom out and look for the merchant shop icon. Good luck.

Prolly my mod list but I'm still getting issues with the shops not showing up on my maps.Maybe this has some overlap with wildlife expanded or other map generator perhaps?

@Max Nguyen, thanks for the report! I just fixed the issue. Unsub and resub to guarantee that you get the update.

- Compatibility update for the Tiger update.
- Fixed an issue where the custom shields items weren't equippable.
- Hid the society trait Clever Peddlers. I feel like this mod was starting to do too much. Scope is now just shops and items.

@Visie Maigo, The new shield cannot be equipped by defender. The error that the game gives is "incompatible hero class". My guess is that bc the shield does not have the tag "defender".

The mod should still work fine with the Tiger Update. I have no changes to push, so I won't push until I have content.

@eharper256, thanks for checking. I double checked and the Paradox Plaza version is on the same version. I also haven't done an update since July.

I see the one on Paradox Plaza is 23-08-24, this one is the July 24 version. Will there be an update here?

@Visie Maigo, nice thank you mate

@Werzui M.S, yes please go ahead and reuse some of my mounts. Thanks for your comment :)

hey, is it ok if i use some of the mounts of your mod, to make them into mount traits in my mount mod (WerMs Extra Mounts)?
Love your mod btw

Bald Eagle, Inferno Hound, Black Wolf, Armored Boar.

@skaz88, it's not something I'm interested in at this time. There seems to be other mods that add mounts, hopefully one of those can help? What mounts were you looking for?

Is it possible that you could create an add on mod that would allow the new mounts you've created to be chosen as mount traits?

@EtheriousNatsuD, thanks for the comment. That is very unfortunate. I wish the game handled multi-player and mods better. An alternative is to download the previous versions of the mod from the Paradox Plaza.

Merchant Shops: https://mods.paradoxplaza.com/mods/66575/Any
Item Forge Deluxe: https://mods.paradoxplaza.com/mods/70155/Any

This mod and the Item Forge Deluxe mod as well doesn't work in multiplayer for me.
