Not falling
Etemenanki
Just a short one today, I know, it's going to be weird. I just want to set a couple of things straight from everything I have read so far today what with the changes that the admins have introduced.
We do not need every kind of resource, point in fact, we actually don't need any resources what so ever. The new model would appear to be that EVERY country, regardless of resources can produce any resource at 100% value, wether they have a province with it or not. So just because we do not have saltpeter, it does not mean that we cannot produce saltpeter or do so at some massive penalty. What it means though is that our saltpeter production will NOT receive the bonus's that would come to someone producing Aluminum (since we have a high aluminum province) So that means that our grain production is just fine, our food market is not going to collapse, and that we don't need to run around like chickens with our heads cut off. In the future, Canada will doubtless be changing to a fish run food production sure, but grain will be able to compete at only a small disadvantage (15% or so I believe atm) Does it mean food prices based on grain will be higher? Probably yes. Does it mean we can't produce grain. No it doesn't.
The admins have layed out pretty clearly in the forum messages for that link they sent out earlier today that any country can harvest any resource, they just need a high resource to produce it with the bonus's.
"p0luks: Bavaria and Schleswig-Holstein and Hamburg ex grain countries with big grain companies are now doomed...either germany or sweeden dont have any grain country....this is a disaster....."
"Admin: Now companies in all Germany can produce grain at a normal level. For Grain bonus, Germany needs to conquer a High Grain region."

I am sorry I had to write that, but atm people seem very confused and I have seen plenty of misinformation around. If this is inaccurate, my apologies, but it is based on exactly what the admins have shared with us."
Goodnight everyone, I will see you tomorrow when the sun comes up again.

So the same as before but with different names, right? Perhaps they modeled it after the professions pilot project, the weapon specialization experiment, and the hexagonal battle brainstorm. Trend?
So eCanada is now flat. WE LOST OUR TITTIES!
Here is my solution:

I think that the production bonus will play a VERY important role in the economy. Don't underestimate it.
Great stuff Etem
Great article!
I agree with Etemenanki, In my assessment, I don't see any fail due to these changes in the long term, in fact I really believe that eCanada will come out a winner. We currently hold 2 additional resources that we would not have without our newly acquired regions, that puts us in a better position once industry has time to play some catch up with the changes. I think the market will level out quicker than people expect. Let's look at this for what it really is eCanada, Opportunity! All the nations were shaken up, the difference is that our people are the most innovative in the new world, we are the most ready for change. We are the best.
Oil gives +5% production bonus on weapons and +25% production bonus on Oil companies."

Since Canada, don't have any grain resource, we actually have 0% bonus on the production of grain. But with the Cattle, Deer, fish and fruit resources, Canada have a bonus of 20% on food production. And when RM company will be allow, we will have a 25% bonus on production of Cattle, Deer, fish and fruit. So, yes right now we don't need to worry.
Thats fine and well but can someone tell me how India ended up with cows as a resource? Is the cow not sacred in India and to eat one means instant banishment to hell?
Am I the only one who finds that ironic?
Fresh fruit salad in Ireland, a luscious Porterhouse steak in India, an oil and Grain starved Canada, it's all relative in it's moronicalness really.
