    Honey, sweetie, darling. You must understand that even if you did manage to get all food producers, which I guess includes me, to sell our food at a lower price, some other guy with deep pockets, which I guess also includes me, will just come by and buy it all up to sell it at this higher price. 
     

    If you want food prices to go down then you either need to increase food production or reduce food consumption. 

    Perhaps a new poll about max. infra per city or a new world war would help to reduce food consumption.

    Wow. Everyone be careful.

    I'm sure these 25 votes on food prices will have a large impact on the future development of prices. Just make sure every food producer knows the result of this poll so they can adjust their prices because this is how a free market works.

  3. A planned economy has never worked. So in this simple market simulation the principles of a free market do apply. If there is a shortage in raws and prices increase further, at some point people will switch to the production of raws until there will be a new equilibrium.

    Simple as that, no need to interfere.

    Pointless. An alliance shouldn’t be able to force his members to participate in alliance-wide embargoes. Every nation of an alliance can do it individually if the leadership ask them to and if they want.

    Not sure what you’re trying to implement here.

    Alliances are able to force their members pay taxes yet they should not be allowed to set embargos against other alliances?

    The individual freedom is that you can leave an alliance any time you want if you don't agree with that alliance's policies. This already applies for foreign and fiscal policies so why not for trading policies, too?

  5. First!

    Matters are created all the time by the mind. It's not a theory, it's a fact that some matters are stupid and some are not.

    The only collective illusion I know is the one that happened in East Germany and most of Eastern Europe. About the colors I'm not so sure. I see quite many colors every day.

    If you want your alliance to embargo someone, have your alliance leaders instruct their members to embargo them. If they trade with them after the embargo is declared by the alliance leader, kick them out of the alliance.

    Would it be difficult to add this feature to the game?

    Alliances would not be obliged but would have the opportunity to use it, similar to taxes. Taxes are handled by alliance leaders, too, so they don't have to ask members for donations on a regular base.

    As was mentioned before already, it's extremely difficult to manage an alliance-wide embargo against another alliance. Leaders can't even check members' active embargoes except for checking the activity list on the nation page.

  7. In addition to increasing the likelihood of conflicts and wars, embargoes set by alliances against alliances make the market more dynamic again. This would also somewhat address the issue of constantly decreasing market prices. If major alliances reduce the amount of available resources to other alliances, supply decreases and therefore prices increase.

    I don't think that alliance-wide trade policies imposed by alliance leaders reduce individual freedom in the slightest. If someone is unhappy with an embargo set by the alliance leader, he/she/zie/they/etc. can either communicate their disproval or leave the alliance as an act of their individual freedom, i.e. vote with their feet.

  8. Indeed there is no "normal price" since all prices are determined by supply and demand. Currently decreasing prices occur due to the large supply and prices may well increase again with the next war.

    The only thing that can be considered problematic is that some of the offers for large amounts of resources or money are fake offers. These offers are not backed by money or stockpiles and might influence prices one way or another.

    if anyone of u want to invest into my P and W country with IG money I will give u the double of it later when i am able to.

    Would be a wonder getting back half of the invested money from a self-proclaimed socialist nation...

  10. I don't get why so many people keep complaining about low market prices. It's all a matter of supply and demand and most of the resource prices resonate with each other.

    Small nations benefit from the currently large supply and the small demand. Large nations that specialize in manufactured resources can buy the required raws cheaply.

     

    To which point might market prices eventually fall? The bottom boundary is the marginal cost of production which can probably be calculated within this simple economic system, taking into account interdependencies including pollution.

     

    In theory, prices equal to the marginal costs imply the highest overall welfare. So instead of propagating some false ideal price or asking for additional mechanisms to prevent prices from decreasing, let the market to the work and let it provide the highest overall surplus.

    As you all know - if you pay attention - Pantheon's leader part deux  - has departed leadership and the game once again. Previously, The Emperor created/led pantheon and then dropped out due to a blurry stage of drama/war/etc. After that, he came back and took the reigns. Pantheon has always been in some type of drama and wrapped around the tongue of many who call it a waste of space, useless....etc. There are, however, many people who like and support Pantheon, even since the beginning.

    How do you think Pantheon will fair with this change? Do you think the current leadership has the strength to continue on their own? Do they have the experience? Or are they just a pawn/puppet to The Syndicate?

    (feel free to go into detail)

    Yes.
