Monday, November 4, 2013 - 12:49 am  Can someone please explain what happened here? Product- Military bases maintenance units Problem- Sudden change in market supply and demand, supply surges in one game month with no explainable reason. Charts- Supply and demand difference https://sim05.simcountry.com/cgi-bin/cgi2nova?SN_ADDRESS=wwwCountry&SN_METHOD=w3graph&miTable=tldhist&miKey=300&miColumn=vTradeSurplus (shows a negative supply to demand until the period between Jan and Feb 3238 - Supply jumps from around -350K to +816k. In one month.) Supply chart https://sim05.simcountry.com/cgi-bin/cgi2nova?SN_ADDRESS=wwwCountry&SN_METHOD=w3graph&miTable=tldhist&miKey=300&miColumn=vTradeSupplyVolume (shows the supply jumping, same period) Demand chart https://sim05.simcountry.com/cgi-bin/cgi2nova?SN_ADDRESS=wwwCountry&SN_METHOD=w3graph&miTable=tldhist&miKey=300&miColumn=vTradeDemandVolume (shows actually a slight jump in demand) and finally Number of corps producing Product https://sim05.simcountry.com/cgi-bin/cgi2nova?SN_ADDRESS=wwwCountry&SN_METHOD=w3graph&miTable=tldhist&miKey=300&miColumn=vTradeNumberOfCorporations (shows a slight decrease in corps producing the product in the period) Can someone please tell me what is going on here? I don't want to play a game where there are magical market forces that constantly change the supply and demand when I am capitalizing on a profitable industry. There is no point in playing the game. WTF?

| Monday, November 4, 2013 - 01:30 am Someone likely just dumped a lot on the market. It looks like someone already picked up the surplus. No need to panic =)

| Monday, November 4, 2013 - 01:44 am That was my first thought as well, but the overall supply remained high after that initial jump.

| Monday, November 4, 2013 - 04:43 am happens on every world this game is not purely supply and demand driven as per the fundamental rules. gm seems to change conditions as necessary not to be too much into any direction. if this game is purely base on supply and demand, i'm sure some players will be super rich and some will be super poor, just like on earth.

| Friday, November 8, 2013 - 02:07 pm There was no change on Nov. 4. Changes took place on Wednesday Nov. 6. some production increased a bit while the cost of the product declined. This happened mainly to weapons and ammo but also some other products. In the process, base profitability increased. The changes are part of the general trend to reduce pricing, mainly of weapons and ammo to further reduce the price of war.
