'''Buildings common to all towns''' (or just '''common buildings''') are structures that can be built in all [[town]]s. This also includes ''blacksmiths'' and ''resource silos'', although in the {{roe}} manual they are classified as town specific buildings because their function varies.

Marketplace is structure where the player can trade [[resources]] to other resources, or give resources to another player.
[[Category:Buildings common to all towns]]
 
If you have many marketplaces you get better trades:
* BR - Basic resources ([[Wood]], [[Ore]])
* MR - Magical resources ([[Crystal]], [[Gems]], [[Mercury]], [[Sulfur]])

The operation is always at a loss: selling X amount of resource A for Y amount of resource B, and then doing the reverse operation of trading Y amount resource B back for Z amount of resource A, will always give final result of Z much lesser than the starting X. This roughly follows the following formula:
400 units will be traded back for (n+1)² units, where n is the amount of cities with marketplaces that you own, capped to 9.
 
You can also give [[resources]] to enemies or [[allies]].

| Tavern as seen on [[Adventure Map]].
|} Tavern is a building where player may hire [[heroes]], visit Thieve's Guild and hear [[rumor]]s. It also increases [[morale]] by +1 of the defending hero's army. Additionally, Tavern can also be found on [[Adventure Map]], where it has the same functions except morale increase. In original {{roe}}, the heroes available for hiring in a Tavern on Adventure Map were different than the ones in towns' taverns. However, this was changed somewhere along the way.
 
=== Hiring heroes ===
Heroes can be hired to the service of kingdom at the price of 2500 {{G}}. There are always two new heroes available for hire, and if one is hired, a new one will appear. However, at the beginning of each week (including the beginning of the map), the two heroes have a random number of creatures with them associated with the town type they represent. After either one is hired, the new hero appearing will only have one non-upgraded first level creature in his army. Additionally, at the beginning of each week, at least one of the heroes (left one) will be from the town the player represents. In original {{roe}}, heroes always had a new set of creatures with them, which lead to tactics where players hired several heroes in order to speed up the beginning.
 
=== Hearing rumors ===
In the tavern screen above the heroes is a small rectangle where bar keeper whispers rumors. The game has a bunch of built-in rumors, but the map maker can enter own rumors as many of as he sees fit. This in mind, rumors can be extremely helpful or completely nonsense. Default rumors can for example reveal the [[terrain]] of which the [[grail]] is buried or which player has the most artifacts.
 
=== Thieves' Guild ===
[[Image:Thieves_Guild.png‎|thumb|right|300px|In game footage of the thieves' guild. Player has acquired four towns and thereby unlocked eight different statistics. (Note: five towns are required to see income statistics.)]]
Thieves' Guild is in-build part of the tavern. It provides information on the relative strength of all the players and heroes. Each player is portrayed by a flag of their color which is placed further to the left depending on their rank regarding listed information. The information available in Thieves' Guilds are dependent on the number of towns a player controls.

Buildings common to all towns (or just common buildings) are structures that can be built in all towns. This also includes blacksmiths and resource silos, although in the Restoration of Erathia manual they are classified as town specific buildings because their function varies.
