Too much gold

[htrkrz]

This seems to be the case in every patch.By buying alot of gems and incense at low price, the next turn the prices sky rocket, and you can make tremendous profit selling them.This can be repeated every turn, meaning you will have a superior economy in short time, thus making even impossible difficulty level too easy.
Any hope for fixing this little/huge bug?

The game is around 4 years old now so pathcing it is more than a small task, especially as the programming team that developed it are no longer at Slitherine. It's unlikely in the near future to be honest

A simpler solution to this problem, is to realize that it is an exploit. If using the exploit ruins the fun of the game, don't use it. Nothing says you have to buy gems cheap, then when prices go up sell them, till prices go down and repeat. I for one never even knew this existed, because that's not the way I play. It is possible to play without using this exploit, so my reccomendation would be to do so if it bothers you that much. That's the beauty of exploits, they're there if you like 'em, but you're not forced to use 'em.

Exactly. Just don't do it if you don't like it. I do think that the economic side of CoW is on the easy side too (I've never been in a critical situation economically in the 10 full games and dozens of partial games I've played) but the game makes up for it in that, although a small, undiverse country can easily keep a strong economy, it will militarily be eaten up by one of the bigger nations- economy doesn't matter, but size does.
