World Trade and Economics... How do You Know?

[Jon Shafer]

How do you know who's trading with who? How do you even know if your deals are being accepted? I see no indication of either occuring, other than slightly fluctuating values of certain resources at the top of the screen...

The same goes for enconomic usage and conversion... how do you know how much (if anything) you're converting and what's being used?

Okay, apparently if an offer on the trade screen is white, then it's being enacted (between whom though?), and if it's red then it's being rejected (look for rubber with this one).

From what I can tell, everything else is pretty abstracted and computer-managed...
