Resources gathered graph misleadingly shows market exchanges as profit

  • Build Number: 15.1.6970.0

Issue: On the resources gathered graph, market exchanges are reported as profit instead of loss.

This is the resources gathered graph. At this spike in the graph Blue is exchanging gold for food inefficiently at the market to buy Imperial age. Blue has destroyed resources, not gained them! It is misleading to report market exchanges this way. For another example this bad accounting inflates the chart for Rus players using Golden Gate tickets.

I expect the resources gathered chart to fairly portray the economic situation between the players, but it doesn’t when the market is involved.

Trigger Event:

The costs of using market exchanges, or market-exchange like abilities are not accounted for in the resources gathered graph.

Repro Steps:

  1. Use market exchanges heavily in a match.
  2. Check the Resources Gathered graph for inflation from reporting the exchanges as pure profit instead of overall loss.
