[QUOTE="Treebore, post: 4568563, member: 10177"] True, but I have seen how wars "over there" affected prices over here, etc... so I can extrapolate pretty reasonable assumptions on what I don't know from what I do know. Will they be accurate? No, I only hope they are "close enough". As long as it doesn't bother me due to what I know and understand, I am happy with it. Plus there are plenty of books written about the ancient economies. The most recent of which I read was about the founding and settling of the South American Continent up to and including Mexico. It was very enlightening. Especially on the economics. The how and why people came to settle there, how they made money, set up their trade agreements, created things with which to trade and make money. It was far from being all about gold and silver. In particular I found how the King of Spain granted charters to establish towns and business'. In part I was shocked at how high some taxes were and how low others were. I was very pleased that actual copies of several of these charters were included in the book. So yes, a large part of what I do is indeed "guessing", but since I am aware of what I know and understand, I am much more comfortable with my house rules than I am with what I have found in the RPG's I have played. Even though I have been largely happy with the large scale trading charts/tables in the Traveller RPG. As far as have been able to determine I am a much better expert than the people who wrote those rules. So naturally I would trust my expertise over some writer of whose expertise I have no idea about, other than I totally disagree with how the presented the economics. So naturally I can only assume they have no experience, or have only read books on economics, but don't know how that all applies in the real market. I not only have the book knowledge, but 10 years of experience seeing how that knowledge actually works and applies. So I go with it. [/QUOTE]
