I just started a game with Turkey. In a few months the petroleum prices jumped from around $50 a barrel to $2,000 a barrel!
I know that AI countries cannot build buildings, so this is normal since there is no World Market. But isn't there a way to level this unfair advantage? As Turkey, I built up the petroleum facilities, and I'm now exporting and making HUGE profits. The same goes for countries like Iran and Saudi Arabia (it has around $300B in a few months and doesn't even use it for anything).
Is the only option NOT building any petroleum facilities not to gain an unfair advantage? But then the human player is faced with the unfair advantage of the countries that were mentioned that already export petroleum.
What do you think is a fair solution?
P.S. If it is $2,000 a barrel now, I can't imagine what it will be in say 2 years. $10,000 a barrel? Even with $2,000 you get about a 10,000% profit which is ridicilous...

Dude I was playing a region and was exporting solely military goods, the other regions were fighting so bad they depleted all stocks and came knocking to my door for resources, wich they all bought for the fair price of 12.6M a tonnemargab wrote:
