I know that the problem is that it is really hard to get any concrete statements from the TW team on future items, I know what you mean, I feel the same way as I actually brought this type thread up over a month ago so that is why I clicked on this because I couldn't get an answer back then either
we have a private conversation on it, there is too much back and forth going on and wouldn't want to put on a thread, we actually did that and between us it was over 7 pages long before we fixed it
Well thats cool hope you can get this done.
there are 3 huge issues I found out about the economy while doing my 1,000 day trader challenge so I got a lot for work for him
Hmmm could you relay some information to us too
+1well its hard to make it official since its still under testing stages i think so we have to wait and see
Well i am actually a paid troll and fanboy from TW after all xD
1) Town issues aren't being resolved so it is causing negative prosperity to some towns that are getting under 500 so they have virtually no goods for sale and when they do they are so cheap they get bought out fast.
I'm a fanboy of youWell i am actually a paid troll and fanboy from TW after all xD
aw im touched <3 damn it im now derailing again mb ^^ as we where
Well i have noticed all of these so hmmm i still will think about it but thanks for the info
Thats good you noticed them also I can let him know that others see it so makes it more important that others know
The biggest ones is def prosperity, inflation and grain these are the most noticable especially for someone who usually drags their campaigns to 6000 days
prosperity will be tough since some lords deal with the issues better than others so it will be hard to find a happy medium there, for the pricing such as trade goods be so close together, I think there are too many caravans running around with goods so everybody has so many trade goods, I think if we reduced the AI caravans a bit it would help pricing. But I am real curious why the caravan profits changed so much since 1.4 branch. Having a companion with high trading doesnt offer much for profits which makes no sense.
The first 2 are definitely linked with the whole caravan thing but to me caravans still make atound 5k on a good day and average 1.2k but i think late game is the problem with that mostly and late game i cant really commentvon how much they make since i dont really check due to how much money i have late game mabye we can brainstorm a solution without hurting other systems since having less trade caravans especially during war when most villager parties get attacked so they cant bring food or raided it could cause more problems with prosperity due to having too many starving towns and not enough caravans to bring them food also you can reduce hiw many caravans there are by attacking early game since late game most caravans have around 60 to 70 troops which makes looters and bandits not attack them. Other then that it could cause some other issues like lords not making enough money
Yeah that is the problem @mexxico and I have faced, we once changed an option and it had a snowball effect on other issues so it is hard when dealing with the economy to fix one problem but not have it cause a problem to something else. It is really tough to do in a game that has such a complex economy that some people don't realize how complex it is.
It really does though since a fix to 1 problem could cause a bigger problem or just another problem of the same size and fixing that causes another to the point where its just a cat and mouse game
And we are still working on the first 1,000 days of the economy getting it right, let alone having to deal with up to days 5,000 and 6,000. I hate to see what happens when I start taking my trader past 1,000 days and see what it is like. I am trying to deal with the economy 1,000 days at a time, so we have been working for around 1 month just to get the first 1,000 days right.
It isnt fun
