Contract Fee

When entering into any contracts, except for a declaration of war and lord-vassal / order agreements, you can offer or request up to 100 gold and up to 50,000 of all resources for concluding a contract.
This payment is a one-time payment, and will be made only if the player has the stated amount of gold and resources. The lack of a player's declared tribute does not affect the conclusion of the contract.

The following types of payment are used in Lord vassal treaties and contracts for admission to the order. All that is indicated for the lord-vassal, is true for a pair of master - the knight of the order:

Payment points of fame (mercenaries)
Fame points are mercenary points.
The Master of the Order under contracts may receive 750 points of mercenaries from his vassals and other knights of the Order, Knights of the Order 650 points each, Regular players 500 points for each city or camp of mercenaries.
On the servers: Kingdom of Bohemia, Unification of Aragon, Livonian Order, New Beta, Holy Grail Search up to a maximum of 10,000 points from a single contract.

On Siege of Acre, Golden Horde servers, the maximum number of points received under the contract is 2000.

On the servers El Dorado, Albion, Koryo, Skogmark, IT can be transferred using the following criteria:
1. A vassal or a Knight of the Order must have more than 6890 Mercenary Points.
2. You can only transfer the number of points of mercenaries, which is the difference between the current number of OH and a certain limit of 6890 OH.
For each city, a player can transfer 200 points of mercenaries. For example, if a player has 7750 points of mercenaries (exceeds 6890) and 3 cities, he can only give 600 points of mercenaries.
The maximum transfer limit is 1000 Mercenary Points.
For example, if a player has 10540 points of mercenaries (exceeds 6890) and 8 cities, he can only transfer 1000 points of mercenaries.
If a player has 7000 points of mercenaries (exceeds 6890) and 5 cities, he can only transfer 110 (7000 - 6890 = 110) points of mercenaries.
Lord takes the contractual number of points, even if they were used by the vassal, but not more than the number determined by the number of cities and camps of the vassal.
Vassal gets all points back upon termination of the contract.
If a vassal has a total of fewer points than indicated in the contract, the lord will receive all the vassal's points of mercenaries until the vassal reaches the bar indicated in the contract.
Example: according to the contract, the vassal must give 2000 points, the obelisk he produces only 500 points - the Lord receives all 500 points. Vassal further improves the obelisk, which now produces 1000 points - the whole 1000 goes to the lord. It also improves, the obelisk gives already 3000 points - 2000 is received by the lord, 1000 remains to the vassal.

Resource fees to the lord's library (percent)
Each time a vassal makes an investment in a library, the lord receives a contractual percentage of these investments in his library. This tax is deducted from the investment of a vassal, i.e. if the tax is 25%, then instead of invested 10,000 resources, the vassal will receive 7500 in his library, and 2500 will receive the library of the lord.

Payment in gold (time-based)
Lord determines the amount of payment and the period for which this payment will be charged.
Lord will not receive payment if the vassal does not have gold.

Resource fees to the Lord's library (time-based)
Once during the specified period, the declared tax will be levied from the vassal’s vault to the Lord’s library.
Lord will not receive payment if the vassal does not have the required amount of resources.

Contract Fee (Gold)
Fee is charged once, directly at the conclusion of the contract, when the future vassal accepts the proposed contract

IMPORTANT: any transfer of gold under contracts is possible under the condition:

• player transferring gold under contract reached level 31
• gold transferred under a contract has the status of a purchase
