Resource Wars: Or How Plato F***ed Up Again

Greetings panpas,

We learned a lot more about the resource wars today, and the system looks horrible. Plato has chosen to spread the resources allover the month, so at any given time, there is only one resource available. And since countries cannot control their domination points very effectively, they sort of get random resources, and a ton of tokens are lost. It's a nightmare.

So what can we do? I am intending to change the resource order so that if we chance upon a rare or very rare in any industry except housing, we get it. This will mean we will not get maximum food bonus, but getting maximum food might be impossible unless we have our tanks do very precise damage control when one becomes available. But all the countries in the world will be doing the same at the same time, so it is really hard to pull off.

To compensate for this disorderly situation, I will contact Egypt and Saudi Arabia to pick what resources they can for us. We will probably have several common resources in several industries, but scattered across the provinces.

What this will mean is that we will have a decent country bonus, but sort of crappy regional bonuses. Which is OK, but if the event was designed as before with all resources becoming available at the same time, we would have got our food maxed already. We already lost a token...

Anyway. I will try my best to get the best resources possible, but it is a complete clusterf*** on Plato's part.

😘
Kemal
