MARKET - TRADERS

gameplayer wrote: from what i understand is that u can store unlimited amounts of resources in the hubs, lol, thats just crazy, the hubs add a whole new strategy to the game..i love it...they have so many more uses than just silly trade functions...explore team play more... and remember new accounts have that same storage ability......hint hint hint....soon there will be  trillions of resources in the game, its a new day in illy, embrace it

Ya I like the fact it has unlimited storage though the main problem that comes up is as you stated... now instead of unlimited gold that everyone has already they can now get as many resources as they would like over time. I think I am already at 2 mil of each basic resource just from the resources going red and sending surplus there.

Still main problem is that if I were to sell said resources I need to also have my vans there which I am still limited by 70 per town and soon as I send them to the hub its going to tie up my vans as it did before.

Almost wouldn't mind if anything if the tax that we have goes towards van use of the hubs itself. We provide the materials at the hub with our vans and then after order is completed the shipment out from the hub is done from the hub.

It would make it a lot more useful though I would prefer it to go the route of more vans though ultimately the number of resouces in both examples would be the same but rather you would have either *2 or *2.5 the number of vans. It gives the ability to do smaller trades more easily as compared to setting the new standard for a lot to be either 6k or 7.5k.

Going back to the OP, I also find it a bit frustrating having to wait two weeks before being able to try out hubs, but maybe it's just a way for the devs to prevent being overwhelmed by everyone rushing there at the same time.

 Put an army there and harvest them!!!!
