Any information on trade system?

All I see is a mention of exchanging resources over a world market. But will there be anything equivalent to CoT's ?

I also wonder if this world market will be based on HoI's world market, which is rather disappointing in my opinion.

I hope there will be a chance to make direct long-term deals with other nations instead of or as a part of a world market.

It would be nice to know what are the resources used. Coal, steel, cotton, wood and food seem pretty propable ones, one of the screenshots seem to have oil also. There might be a problem with oil though, since it was used only in the latter part of the timeline.

Even in the mid-game oil was valueble domestically, it was only later that it really became useful for war, though.

Watch me play prussia and gain some "useless" empty deserts very early and making myself the laughingstock of the other royals. and then when time comes - I will have the biggest oilreserves one can imagine! bwahahahaa ha ha ha! Mine! Aaaaaall mine! Muaha ha ha ha!

A market kind of like a simplified version of Imperialisms would be good....

I hated being forced to manually click through the trading in Imperialism, but a bit similar system with ongoing deals might prove to be good.

Wilhelm II: Berlin-Baghdad railway does seem like the way to go for you then

Ack, Imperialism. That was a horrible economic system.
