Merchant

Merchant turns the real world into your trading empire. Explore the streets around you, claim real locations on a living map, and grow a network of settlements from a humble camp into a sprawling medieval power.

Trade is your weapon. Gather raw materials, craft them into valuable
wares, relics and luxuries, and play the market — buy low, sell high,
fulfill lucrative requests, or instantly sell goods for quick coin. Every
other player is a rival merchant chasing the same routes.
