Am I the first one? :lol:
I wonder if anyone would be able to get 4 gold for Rum in Europe. I have sold ridiculous amount of C2H5OH and yet it was staying at 10 gold for most of the game. Perhaps Explorer dificulty makes prices more stable than on higher difficulties? Anyways, 7 gold was my final achievement, with every other challenge completed. I wonder if there are tricks in sharply dropping the price -- like selling at once vs. selling RUm gradually, like I did...

Good job with this idea, it was fun, especially after Arawaks burned half of my Rum producing villages. :goodjob:

P.S. Oh yeah, it would be nice to see somewhere in statistics how many unit of each comodity was sold during the game. This would shed some light on price reduction mechanics -- i.e. if I sold more Rum but someone got price even lower, it means there are some selling tricks, right? :xmascheers:

I think this was a feature in Colonization 1 (1994), but it doesn't exist in Civ4:Col anymore.

The are two points that influence the price trend: the more you sell of a certain commodity, the more its price will drop.
But there is a second function so that the price mechanic should not be too linear: Every trade of any commodity can cause a price change of any random commodity by chance.
 
Hi folks,

I assumed the game would just end on turn 200. I have no save-game from around then, and it's currently turn 321...so I am disqualified. :)

Spoiler :
In any case, played as the Spanish and was able to grab all the achievements listed on the game page. That's what happens with an extra 121 turns I guess. The French are gone, William Brewster is in my pocket, rum is at 4g, and I own all the sugar tiles except a couple of stragglers at the edges. It was a lot of fun, and I look forward to more Col GotM. This is a great mod...really what Col needed to become a great game.

What was your sugar price circa 1680? :crazyeye:

My 1680 savegame has me selling sugar at 6, rum at 8. My last turn was 1707 after conquering the French colonies. I was selling suggar at 2, rum for 4 then.

I didn't realize the price of sugar was tied to the priceof Rum. It makes sense. I will keep that in mind if I ever had a reason to drive the price of a refined good into the ground again.

I really enjoyed this game. I will keep playing them.
