Tom Willard (White Giant) | Monday, February 16, 2009 - 12:22 am  Simcountry will be extended with a page showing world statistics and graphs of historic data. The page will include total income and cost, total cash per world, outstanding loans and given loans and some averages of important indexes, including the financial index. The page will make it easier to see how the world economy is evolving and give objective data on the financial situation in countries, cash levels and profitability. We will also look into market indicators. For example, the average price of products compared to the base price and the average quality of products. We are convinced that showing this page will end some on going speculation, based on rumors about how countries are doing and trends in the world economy or the influence of changes in the game model on financial results. The page may indeed show negative effects in some cases and if so, it will be used to measure the effect of corrections that are made if such problems occur. Most of the data that is needed for this page is already collected and available for the gamemaster for a long time. we will now complete the missing items, and store the data in our database and enable graphs showing historical values. |

I doubt it. I just have to log in to see how my countries are doing, as does everyone else. A lot of us keep spreadsheets too, so if anything - it will be interesting to compare our figures to yours. |
