Economic Report

Has someone a old copy of an Economic Report and would be so kind to upload it?
Maybe from Game 1, 4 or 5 so no actual information is revealed.

I ask therefore because i want to know what information i can ask to my trade minister. To have the report would be of a great help for me.

Thanks in advance.

there is no economic reports as such unless you mean the ones you get from Agema for your country

Yes i mean the formerly optional detailed Economic Report for each game year which give more detail regarding what have happening economically. Whose price was shown in the newspaper.

I will have a dig but dont think I have any....

That would be nice.
Maybe you have luck.

Here is one from game 4

Many many thanks Ardagor! This helps a lot.

Sadly that there is no such a report at the moment. Does anyone know when Richard will reintroduce them?

he was considering it but it is a lot of work on his behalf...

I am with you, my friend. I miss the economic report. It was a good guide, as to where you are financialy in the game. I think it is a question of if,not when, the report makes a return.It must take a great deal of time to prepare. So i understand why Richard knocked it on the head. Let us hope,that one day, it will make a return.

I miss it as well, but Richard was only charging 1.50 for it.
So a total of 30 if 20 people buy it. The price would have to increase quite a bit to make it worth the work.

I think he can demand by all means 5-10 pounds. I am sure the majority of players would buy it as it is an investment only once a year.

I would purchase it since it has so many uses in the game. That is not too much to ask for the amount required to put it together.

as with every thing ti takes and Richard is quite busy, but at the end of the day if there is enough demend maybe he will

Maybe he can make a small survey in every game who want to buy an report and to whichoever price?

I'd pay enough for everyone in the game... provided only I got it!

I'd pay/support the return of this. I used to keep some very handy spreadsheets with year on year results to track my progress. They offer an aspect that is now missing. The goal of being No.1 in a trade area is harder to judge now.
