So, I was playing as Prussia.
At first everything went fine, I had a good stockpile of all the resources. I started by trying to buy all the Wool/cotton from the USA. I also started to get all of the resources that I lack. At first the marked was ok...
But quickly all of the markets dry out. Not only that, most of the goods I want are effectively available... But in short supply. How do I make sure I get these goods as Prussia? Even buying them with a premium doesn't seem to alleviate the problem.
Also, how does the game decide what is the cost of a ressource? Every single turn I played the game, Cotton/Wool has a demand of 125 (or more) units and a global production of 30-40. And the price of Wool/Cotton is stable during all that period. Shouldn't the price of wool/Cotton keep increasing until demand and supply are equal? This would have the added benefit of stimulating the supply for Wool (I would hope) as the equilibrium price would be pretty high.
So, when you play, do you spend all of your first years building primary resources extraction site and farms? Or am I just doing something wrong?

for a long explanation:

for the short:
market supply in PON is NOT excess production, it is excess stocks. AI has a scripted level of goods where it starts to sell every further unit.
You start a campaign with high stocks, as more is exported, as lower the stock and it comes to a market shock.
however, the price is related to total offers, not to demand. As higher the stocks, as more goods available, as lower the price. demand doesnt matter in here.
the new extended construction times will break your neck for two to three years, then economy will behave more progressive. once AI has mountains of goods again, it will sell again.
the total effect differs from good to good, changes were made to calm down customers. this destroys the market price for some countries on the one side, and made others growing even faster for new created demand.
