Recently, I've been receiving more complaints about the trading values returned by my trade calculator on CastleEmpireSim.com
The numbers used for this tool have been taken from various places around the internet including the list Audrey posted here in the forums (http://forum.castleempireonline.com/...Trading-Values), as well as a couple of other sources that have posted trade values.
The problem that most people are complaining about is that the values are a good baseline to start with, but rarely reflect what is actually being traded for in the trade tab. One of the reasons for this, is that the values tend to change with the game economy, and with supply and demand, so will NEVER be 100% accurate. About the only way I would ever be able to make it THAT accurate is to tie directly into the trade tab and monitor it. However, to do so is a violation of the game's TOS, so until I manage to get permission from BlueByte and UbiSoft, I'm stuck with having to estimate.
To this end, I've been working on trying to come up with a list of some more reasonable trade Ratios, which I will post here. Please take a few moments to look it over and let me know (by replying here) if something needs to be adjusted. I will try to review this forum post, and update the values regularly. Once everyone seems to agree (for the moment) on what values something is trading for, I will make changes to the Online Trade Calculator to reflect this list. Because it is such a valuable commodity, I am targeting everything against Gold coins. Also, I realize that a few items are missing. This is because I haven't yet gotten good enough numbers to supply these yet.
Here's what and have come up with so far:

EDIT 1/25/2012: I have finished averaging everything that I have up to this point. The numbers posted above reflect these changes, and I think they are starting to look a bit more like what we actually use. For some of the ones that I had questions about (for example I thought fir Logs might be too high), I tried posting trades in the game. To my surprise, I received quite a few trades, so it looks like they might be pretty accurate baselines.
