I've been selling what remains of my weapons, and as I was checking my trade offers and requests today, I noticed this:

Defensive Missile Batteries 5batteries best price March 03 3095 retract

Rapid Deployment Ammo 12550grenades best price March 03 3095 retract
Rapid Deployment Ammo 12550grenades best price June 03 3095 retract


Looking at the date, I see that this happened before I started managing my countries again. This was probably the game trying to gather some money to pay-off my debt. But I don't see a reason to see each offer doubled.


On another issue, as I've been selling my weapons, I see that more often than not there's always one weapon remaining. Even if I make a direct sale contract to one of my enterprise for that one weapon, and accept it, it will remain in my country's stock. That's annoying. Annoying and an old problem.

An old problem?

I know that for maybe a year now, if that long, there has been a change in the game that leaves 1 item in various places, like in stock in corps of product. (Similar I guess to the way half my countries have 50 people in war hospitals though the country hasnt been in war for real years. Thats annoying).

The auto selling thing does show that the repeated offers were made different months to the first. I would presume the game is trying yet again to get cash for your debt, and will probably carry on doing so until the debt is reduced. When it starts selling stock of country products that are used by the population is when I find it stupid because that creates a shortage in country and country tries to order more with immediate orders, making the debt worse lol. Thanks GM!

As far as I can guess, this problem has (had) been here since the beginning, but it surely was a problem when I started playing. I was, however, under the impression it was fixed after Nimz brought it on a Jozi Chat, as he came with a solution for the problem.

If the country is selling stock, that will be required to buy back after X game months, that's a design flaw. Needs to be fixed.
