Buying troops requires a Mercenary Camp in the selected village and can be paid for only with paid Gold. Only combat and siege troops already researched in that village can be bought. Each troop type shows a server-calculated quote for the Gold price and troop count in one bundle, based on its basic training resources and the shared monetary settings and the world's production reference. Enter how much Gold to spend on each troop; the screen shows how many troops that Gold buys, the amount must buy whole bundles, and the total cannot be more than your paid Gold. Before anything is charged, a confirmation shows the total Gold, the delivery delay and how much you would lose by canceling the delivery later, or that a purchase too small to refund cannot be canceled. If the quote changes before you confirm, the purchase fails and nothing is charged. A sitter can buy only if the owner allows the sitter to use Gold. While the Mercenary Camp is closed on the server it lists no troops, and nothing can be bought after the game ends. Troops do not appear immediately; while you wait, the order appears as a separate Mercenary Delivery movement to the destination village, and the troops arrive after the displayed delay.
