1 idea is to have a resources remaining count in the bank. This can help players know if anybody has what they want for trading or monopoly purposes as well as using a knight card and rolling a 7 when stealing or discarding .

To the best of my memory counting the bank has always been not allowed so a card counter would go against the rules (tho this may just be tournament rules). You can, however, see every roll made, what was sourced & by whom and what was spent each turn by looking at the log. So no need for a counter or even a good memory.

Also, I think the "goods stolen from" and "goods stolen by" stats may be reversed in terms of the values they are returning! Otherwise, fantastic game and so happy to have it on BGA!

I'm pretty sure those stats are already available at the end of the game, for premium members... membership has it's privileges

That's wrong. Counting cards is allowed. Even in tournaments you are allowed to do it but it is too much work so no-one actually does that.

Online games are quite different from real life games, especially as you could pretty much reverse engineer the cards taken from and placed back into the bank. Therefore displaying the number of cards in the bank should just be displayed. Otherwise someone would just create a Chrome plugin that does it for you. Then only the players who has the plugin, can see it, which would be unfair.
