🟤 Copper Coin — The Marketplace Currency
Copper Coin is a special in-game currency used for trade-oriented systems in War of Continents.
Unlike Gold, Copper is not a general progression resource. It is designed for market activity and trading flows rather than upgrades, missions, or land development.
🛒 What Copper Is Used For
Copper is used for market trading.
Its main purpose is to support exchange flows where items, loot, or other tradable objects need a dedicated trade currency.
Outside the marketplace and trade-related systems, Copper is not available for ordinary game use. In particular:
- Copper is not used for land upgrades;
- Copper is not used for tower or seal upgrades;
- Copper is not used as a mission resource;
- Copper is not a replacement for Gold.
🧌 Greedy Trader
The Greedy Trader pays in Copper Coins for different items.
When players sell suitable items to the Greedy Trader, Copper is the currency they receive in return. This makes Copper the bridge between unwanted or extra items and future trading opportunities.
🤝 Future Player Trading
In future systems, Copper is planned to support trades between players.
The goal is to give the player economy a dedicated marketplace currency that is separate from Gold-based progression. This helps keep development resources and trading liquidity in different roles.
⚖️ Exchange Rate
Copper has a fixed exchange rate:
| Currency | Value |
|---|---|
| 1 Gold Coin | 1000 Copper Coins |
Players can exchange Gold into Copper on the market.
The exchange is always available, but it works only in full 1000 Copper steps. In practice, this means Gold can be exchanged into Copper only in whole Gold Coin units.
🧭 Design Philosophy
Copper exists to serve trade.
Gold represents core progression: lands, upgrades, structures, and long-term growth. Copper represents market activity: item sales, merchant interactions, and future player-to-player commerce.
Keeping these roles separate helps the economy stay clearer:
- Gold powers development;
- Copper powers trade.
