NOTES:

The mod changes some parts in the GUI. Access to Barter and Resources through the button in the top Panel.

 

8 Resources in the Game.

New: Amphoras, Olives, Papyrus, Coins.

 

Description:

Base Barter rate at the start of the game: 100 to 82.

After the first Barter on the Market, the rate for each resource starts to change dynamically.

If 100 units of a resource can be exchanged for a number greater than 82 it means a more favorable rate. And vice versa.

Dynamics of Rates:

 

Standard - when prices are updated, the rate can increase or decrease with equal probability, i.e. 50%/50%.

Growing - when prices are updated, the rate is more likely to rise than to fall. For example 85% increase, 15% decrease.

 

New Resources are available only in the Civic Center (technology) and Market (technology and barter).

 

The Civic Center generates new resources 2 times faster than the Market.

 

Amphora

Available to all factions in CC and Market through technology.

Feature of this resource:

Market in the Mod:

After the first Deal, prices become dynamic, in other words they change:

2.If players do NOT Barter resources on the Market

The exchange rate may gradually decrease or increase over time.

 

In a new game, the exchange rates will be different from the previous game.

Each next trade will increase or decrease the price differently.

The interval between updates has been increased to 7sec.

The market recovers unevenly for each update interval.

 

Infrequent events where there is a significant jump in rates.

I don't know why, but after downloading the mod and turning it on, I don't see any changes. I have alpha version 27.0 and I download it in the modification selection in the game.

 

 

 

PS: when will version 8.1 be on mod.io?

Check the size of the downloaded file:
0.8.0 - the archive is about 12kB
0.8.1 - archive 224.07kB
They have the same names, and you may have installed a previous version of the mod.
