National market question?

[Frank]

Hi

if i sell 80 % of my stock of a certain good over a long period to my national and colonial market does the demand of this merchandise decrease over time?

I notice that after i sell large numbers of coffee the demand reduced to zero on my colonial market. At the beginning they buyed 8 units every turn.

Thanks

No, they can still buy 8 coffee... but won't if they are already buying enough of others 'common goods'. The market is split in 3 parts: food, goods, luxuries. Coffees are goods... as textile. If you propose a ton of textile, this can lower their need in coffee... Because the game simplifies the needs in 3 categories (or the game would be too complex).
