Trading resources

[bukvuk]

Sometimes, especially with large quantities of traded goods, timing is of the essence. You may need certain goods for corresponding production building that otherwise would have no resources to produce the goods from. Some players are posting a trade, then going to bed and you won't get the traded goods until the next morning. At the same time, the goods that you have sent to trade are written off your list of resources, so you can't trade them with other players. Maybe it would be a good idea to place some kind of time limit for how long a trade can be exchanged after you agreed to trade: after a certain short time period, if another player is not responding, you should be able to receive your goods back to storage unit and dissolve the trading "agreement".

easier solution would be not to send the resources before the trade is completed - (the resources is traded at the instant of when it's accepted)

I noticed that resources are taken out of my storehouse as soon as I press Send Trade Request (when I respond to posted trades on main trading board), before the person on the other end has time to press Accept or Deny. Maybe it's a bug? (unless someone figured out how to take resources without sending the sold resources)

it's not a bug - when u send out trade request, the goods is sent with it - that's why when it got rejected, you got the msg that the goods been returned to the storage
- that's why the sol. would be to make the goods transfer occur when the trade is accepted -
