About those Resources

• by Ghoti Frye

I bought this paper ages ago, but never really had anything to write about. (I'll try to add more fancy images and formatting if I ever get around to future articles). In the meantime, I have a question that I wanted to ask of the community (and the Dail), regarding our recent treaty with the U.K.

I get that we get some new food resources, and that this will increase our food production. Is that really what we need though? As of this moment, I can buy food raw materials off the market for .06 IEP.
Q1 food can be purchased at .56 IEP per unit
Q5 food is available at 2.59 IEP.

We already seem to have over inflation of all forms of resources (excepting gold). Is it really so important to get rid of our regions for such a minor and unnecessary bonus?
I'm interested to hear others' opinions. Particularly those more informed on the circumstances that lead to the passing of this treaty.

So give back NI and Scotland, take back Dublin and Louth.

Pick a fight with UK and end up with no regions?

Caz, if we give back NI and Scotland, then UK is the only country we can fight with, so it's either pick a fight with them, or sit here doing nothing forever and never win a TP medal again.

New players.
New players.

More food, more fights, more fun and ranking up. Not everyone is as established as us oldies.

Couldn't we try to negotiate region swaps with our allies to open up new borders for us, rather than make treaties with ONE nations? It is a valid point though.

I feel that losing regions with rl sentimental value will actually have a negative impact on new players. It makes sense to long time veterans, but it's discouraging to people who don't understand the game when they see that their preferred regions belong to the wrong folks.

If we lose Scotland or Northern Ireland, we can take them back no problem.

If we lose a resource region in an allied country, it costs us our entire MPP stack to get it back.

Ireland only naturally borders UK as a country we can fight. So, should we give up Northern Ireland and Scotland which give us a bonus, just so we can fight them, and probably be wiped again at some point in the future? Having ALL our regions belonging to the wrong folks will have a more negative affect on new players

and old players alike. The last time it happened, it almost broke the community. Older players moved away to other countries. In fact, many of them only just returned AFTER we signed this treaty.
