Aisha Greyjoy Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I'd like to see additional commodities available. One idea is to spread food out into Rice(Asia, S. America, Africa) Wheat(Europe, N. America, Europe) Meat(Australia, N. America, S. America) Fish(Africa, Asia, Australia) Then set populations to crave all 4, but will take any shortcoming from other foodstocks. If a population has access to enough of all 4, give them a revenue boost of 5% or something. Then you can spread the foods around to the continents to encourage more trading. Dabbling in all 4 foods is by no means required, its just something to pursue to get the bonus. Quote Duke of House Greyjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McMelvin Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I do like the idea of different food types but could this be slightly complicated? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And why would Europe only have one food option? Quote Is there a bug? Report It | Not understanding game mechanics? Ask About It | Got a good idea?

Administrators Alex Posted August 26, 2014 Administrators Share Posted August 26, 2014 The other issue with adding more resources is where are we going to display them? There's nowhere near enough room for 3 new resources (4 if you keep a food total) on the resource bar at the top of the page. Quote Is there a bug? Report It | Not understanding game mechanics?

Aisha Greyjoy Posted August 28, 2014 Author Share Posted August 28, 2014 I had trouble distributing them? It was meant as an example more then specific for even what foods or where. Alternately, give each continent its own food, and to get the bonus you need some of all. That would help to make some trade price variances for food prices.

Administrators Alex Posted August 28, 2014 Administrators Share Posted August 28, 2014 I don't think we're going to fit 5 new resources into the resource bar, though. Quote Is there a bug?

Lottario Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I don't think we're going to fit 5 new resources into the resource bar, though. Would it be possible to simply count them all as a general "food" for the resource bar, and then have something show up on mouse over to show the individual quantities of each type?

Grillick Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Maybe have the color of the food icon change when you have all six? Quote "It's hard to be a team player when you're omnipotent." - Q Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atzuya Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Having more than one sub-types of a resources would just needlessly complicate matters, I think. If this goes through, some will start suggesting to differentiate coal along with everything else from each continent. Anthracite, Bituminious, Lignite... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Despartainian Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 (edited) I think the idea that it would make trade more interesting is a little too hopeful. If everyone has one and needs the other three, the prices are going to stay relatively similar amd just end up making things more complicated witout adding anything unique to the game.
