1.06c World Trade BUG !!!

[claudefrog]

Ok guys, I dont know if this has already been written somewhere BUT I would like to address it agian anyway ! In 1.06c , whatever I try to do in the world trade (especially when the war starts) I can't get any rubber !!! The deal stays as white and thus make out it is working but I dont gain any resources but I lose the ones I am trading !!! If I am producing say 50 rubber but need 100 rubber and I trade say up to an extra (surpose to ' ) 200 rubber I still dont gain any !!!
Anyone have this same problem or is it just me ... I don't htink it is just me, but yeah juswant to know and get everyone aware of this ! '

It's not a bug its WAD. When you're at war the resources you receive are cut to about 10% of the original amount.

No but I might trade to get like 1000 rubber but i get none ! and they make out they work but they don't ! '

I don't have any idea what the heck you just said but, when you're at war, all your trades are effectively cancelled out.You'll still lose what resources you're offering, but you won't get hardly anything in return, even if the trade screen shows it as "white" accepted.

If you press F6, what stands on page 3 under the points:
1. Trade for on Worldmarket
2. Trade away on Worldmarket

AFAIR you get 8% during war. This means you get 8 rubber for whatever 100 units you trade (16 for 200 etc.).

Look again at screen 3 (economy). It's only if it says zero under 'traded for' that you have an actual bug.

This is also explained in the updated manual. Find the sticky for it just above these messages and download it (PDF).

You get only 8% if your tradefleet is large enough. As China for example you usualy wont get even the 8%.

Interesting to note: Playing SuperAI w/ 1.06c as China I have such an enormous excess of coal that its actually cost effective to trade 100 coal for 8 steel. What is interesting is that as the game progresses the ratio increases, so that a trade started at 8% return in 1936 is trading at 50% by 1943, even with constant war during that time. I don't know if this holds true for other nations as well, but I have wondered for a long time if this is WAD or not. I doubt its an issue with SuperAI either, since this sort of thing is probably beyond the ability to mod.

Maybe you're trade ratio is relative to the amount of territory you control? Because by that time I control SE Asia, Australia, eastern SU and Japan.

Thoughts?

I've noticed that too. At the time I was under the impression that it had either something to do with relative fleet-size (Royal Navy virtually destroyed) or with the ammount of coast under my control. I believe it's WAD.

Also I believe that trading excess-coal when at 99999 is a good idea anyway ... in my current game I'm nowhere near that scenario ...

btw. I was playing 1.06 + CORE .83
