Demand is getting bigger and bigger
For each round played, it feels like the resources are less and less, and the demand is bigger and bigger. Many times in the chat you can hear the screams for resources, OIL, GOLD, IRON ORE, I`M NOT PAYING THAT! And every trader there is in need of these resources, are trying to find people to dig for them. The last few rounds FDF has opened, and it has been a big help, people are moving, or starting mv`s to dig them, and other players are finding time and money to open up a sailing industri. I have asked the federals a few question to get their view on the matter.
Mjello: What are your thoughts on the faster resources demand giving each round?
FeC: We think that the demand for resources is not getting faster each round. We do monitor every round on how the resource demand is developing.
Mjello: Have you any thoughts to work on this issue, or will fdf open up each round?
FeC: We work continues on ideas and their technical implementation. Whenever it is technical to implement, we try to do that. But that is a hard part.
Mjello: Have you thought of making one country rich on trees and oil, and the other on iron and gold, to open up for oversea trade?
FeC: We did.
Mjello: Are you considering adjusting the lots to our new demand? i mean making the countries bigger? or opening up new towns? for as what i know the players are getting there.
FeC: We do consider that.
From this small conversation, it sounds like that even though federals have been a bit more busy in real life, they are watching, and are looking into ways for us not to be in too much pain considering the faster trade, there happens the first 10-14 days. One round they implemented oil and gold mines, and other rounds we had to scream and pinging them down, to open FDF, and now they open it before we are asking. Also it doesn’t sound like they are to far from the idea to invest in new cities. The part were one county should be richer in 2 resources and the other country on the others, isn’t really a thing i have noticed, besides that big green spot on Guilderland map. And considering that each country did not invade the other to gather resources, maybe they will make it more noticable next round. There seems to be more people trying to come up with ideas on how to work the issue out, Bell_1996 and Sitethief has come up with a few ideas. But how it will make an impact is unknown, FDF seems to be a legit way to work this out. Shipping is possible so the real question is only for the diggers to expand the warehouse and buy some really big shops in the main countries. And ofcourse make a big shop on FDF to the gas, shovel and wood supplier. The problem for new traders could be to talk them into make mv`s on fdf to help the supply of resources to the mainland. Will there soon be new towns, or will there might even be a new country? Let’s hope we see some new things next round or atleast soon.
