Kemal Ergenekon Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Hi Sheepy, I recently joined your game and I find it quite exciting. I have a question and some suggestions. I see that there are some average price indices being stored by the game. However, I don't know how they are calculated. As an Econ PhD, I would calculate them in the following way: The last line is a bonus (price volatility). Can you please confirm that the average prices are calculated as I described? If not, can you please also calculate the values I listed above and make it possible to display them as graphs? Having those 4 graphs for each commodity would be wonderful! What would be even more wonderful is an option to be able to see the historical data as a table that can be copy-pasted to spreadsheets rather than a graph. One last request would be to keep track of lowest sell price, highest buy price, and the range in between divided by the average price (giving us a measure of the spread between buy and sell offers). I hope that's not asking for too much! Thanks in advance. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMike Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 So far I've been doing this manually on a daily basis, so having the game providing us with more knowledge on the market behavior would definitely make things easier! What I would add - is to try and ignore the extremes if possible, although this should be already covered by the possibility of direct sells to alliance members/nations, so it makes it pointless to buy more expensive offers and have some of the money returned 1 Quote ☾☆ Priest of Dio º¤ø„¤¤º°¨ ø„¸¸„¨ ø„¸¸„ø¤º°¨¨°º¤ø„¸¸„ø¤º°¨¨°º¤ø„¸ ¨°º¤ø„¸ GOD EMPEROR DIO BRANDO¨°º¤ø„¸ ¨°º¤ø„¸ DIO BRANDO GOD EMPEROR¨°º¤ø„¸ ¨°º¤ø„¤¤º°¨ ø„¸¸„¨ ø„¸¸„ø¤º°¨¨°º¤ø„¸¸„ø¤º°¨¨°º¤ø„¸ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwemyrn Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 The average prices in the game are determined between player to player based on how much they all are selling them for, adding an equation to the cost is pointless because the players should be able to choose what they want to buy and sell things for, not an automated system equation.

Hi Accidon, I am not asking for the addition of an equation. Rather, I am asking a question about some graphs that are being displayed here, and suggesting new graphs to provide more information to the players. Currently we cannot see trade volume, volatility, etc. They can be easily calculated and added as additional options to display there. It does not affect the current market structure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ELPINCHAZO Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) you're really *going to* want to filter out personal and alliance trades as those should be considered as not part of the market. *edit for missing words--wtf* Edited February 19, 2015 by ELPINCHAZO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
