Fri: Dec 2, 3048: Magestrix meets with Duchess Trussel from Thraxa to re-negotiate textiles taxes; wool prices continue to plummet.

[Outlaw]

This announcement reminds me, will we see representation of the Periphery nations in MWO?

[Mikhal Rain Longcut]

Sound like there might just be a rather active economic side to the game.

[Dihm]

I can't imagine them implementing wool trading... I think it's just fluff.

Get it?

[Billy Taylor]

Yeah, they're likely spinning a yarn.

[Garth Erlam]

I see what ewe did there.

[Dihm]

I think you're stretching a bit far and going out on a lamb with that one.

[Atlas3060]

well no need to be sheepish about baaaaad jokes, we have plenty of time until the release date.

[verybad]

It's a thin thread indeed to expect economics in the game to go to that fine a pattern.

Laugh it up, fuzzball! Too funny, this thread.

It'll be MechWarrior-meets-Settlers of Catan! "I'll trade you 1,000 units of sheep for three crates of A/C ammunition." Or, to quote a common phrase, "I'll trade you wheat for sheep." xD

Also, I propose the Republic of Skye sets up a trade agreement with the Magistracy. If the weather on Skye is as similar to Ireland/Scotland here on ancient Terra as the fluff tells it to be, then wool sweaters/blankets/etc. will be in high demand. Save their economy!

Or it's just a slow news day.

[Kenyon Burguess]

pretty much seems that way with that announcement. which is good IMO. theres alot of nice content in the Periphery and if we can get jobs out there before, during, and after the clans attack that will be alot of additional fun.

Territory control for resources That's something worth fighting for...

[Bogusheadbox]

Well what are we actually fighting for if its not control of resources and a valuable market ?

I certainly hope there is something worth fighting for instead of insta matches on selecta fields with no reason or importance to the battle. I have mechwarrior 4 for that
