Are Marketplace's really important?

[Johntodd]

I like to use the Traveling Wagon Vendor in MegaMod because it is small and serves a smaller area.  That way I can make smaller "townlets" and spread out more.




So I'll have two town centers, some distance apart, servicing the industrial/food area between them, for example.  Kind of a North Pole/South Pole kind of thing.




I also put a Magazine and a rather large stockpile just outside the market's radius to keep things closer for the merchants to grab.
