Supply and Demand

Guest · Post by **Guest** » 29.06.2007, 10:03

Can someone please explain to me the significance of the S&D numbers from the game?

How does it benefit the player to deliver supply to the demand, yet it does not reflect it in the revenues generated.

what the hell does this mean???

Article Demand Supply
Gas 25,931,220 5,056,330

every product is lacking supply.

The retail market formulas are quite tricky (strange). In any case one should not count on any real-world parallels. The Kapilands economy is supply driven which leds to strange effects sometimes. In-game uncovered demand does not translate into ability of selling a given good at profit. I guess the interpretation of the ingame "demand" becomes more close to the real-world economy only in situations when supply starts to constitute a large percentage of "demand" or starts to exceed it. But it still works in a strange way - I guess the hidden retail market formulas are one of the main weaknesses of this game.
