special resources trading

Kenzu wrote:Yes it can be made that way, but the problem is that it will complicate the system a lot, not only to the players, but also to the code, and much more calculations will have to be made.

When trading you always export your 3 resources and import someone elses 3 resources. With 24 resources and you having 3 at the start, you can theoretically have all 24 resources with another 7 trading partners, however often a player will already have one or two of the resources you have, especially if you trade already with other people.

trading with the same person multiple times?
it's a bug, will be fixed.

I read your Wiki and it explains very little. To address your points made tied to real life lets honestly look at what you just said

1. If russia had 1 container of oil, and sold it to another country would russia have oil for itsself? NO

If Russia had only 1 "container" of oil, then Russia would not export it.
However Russia is producing millions of barrels of oil each day, much more than it can use itself,
and that's why it is exporting.

You too have special resources and you are producing much more than you need, so that you can export it too.


2. If America had 1 tank, and sold it to another would it have a tank for its self? NO

So lets try to keep real life from further explinations, its not needed. I'm here to play a game and get away from real life.

Why put a number on it if the number is meaningless? Rather stupid and it makes people think the number means something when it does not. Couple that with crappy explinations and you wonder why people don't understand things very easily.

There is a reason for the number, namely without the number you will not know how many trade partners you have for a certain resource, but if you find out that you have 2 or 3 for multiple of your resources, then you might want to look around and find a trade that you can cancel without losing access to a resource and then be able to accept trade relations from someone who has resources that you dont have at all.


Now, from talking to other player I do think I have figured it out.

Trades are not like main, and are not 1 time actions but ongoing, as long as your trade is active then you have access to that resource. One thing I do not understand is how are these resources "unlimited"? You have 1 yet you can trade that 1 item to 24 other people and still have 1 for yourself?(see where some confusion might come in?) Also, it only allows you to export 3 goods, the three you start with. But if through trade you end up with 3 or 4 "non native" resources you can not trade them. (possible suggestion). You also may end up with resources that are meaningless to your account set up and that is sad TBH, why can you not influence those resources? (possible suggestion) My officer has 1 out of three resources that benifit their account set up, thats a real waste TBH.

The number doesnt represent how many resources you have, but how many trade partners + yourself give you the resource.
Each resource benefits your account, none is meaningless.

PS: You can influence your resources after building research center 3 and after an update which will enable you to research new resources that you can exchange for a resource you have at the start.



Another thing I noticed is this, if you were to get all resources as you say that is theoreticly possible your looking at
Danning neutron bomb +10% att
miryia missle shield +10% def
koyra spy drone +13% covert
orda paratrooper tanks +12% assassin <---I find this one amusing, assassins parachuting tanks in
irium energy collectors +3% income
tarik artificial organs +3% UP
hualu militay computers +2.5%att, 2.5%def, +3% cov, +3% assassin
salin construction droids +1.5% income, 1.5% UP

proximity mines +5% def

17.5% total ATT bonus
17.5% def bonus
30% covert bonus
27% assassin bonus
9% income
9% UP
4 MT per week increase

Why is the salin bonus so small compared to haula? halua has bigger bonuses to 4 stats and salin has smaller bonuses in just 2 stats?

But add the above to PBP and most accounts will be looking at 200% plus on race specific stats.


Just sayin, not agreeing or disagreeing
