Resource Wars 2016 Edition

The eRepublik mad scientists are working on a new industry that will reshape the future of the eRepublik Universe. The new industry is based on 5 new resources that will boost the it’s productivity. The resources are up for grabs in the following month during a Country versus Country competition.
Dates
The Resource Wars will start on the 6th of May and will run for the entire presidential term.
New Resources and Changes in Productivity
The 5 new resources are : Wolfram, Titanium, Cobalt, Magnesium, Neodymium.
The addition of the new resources will impact the distribution of current resources as in the following table:
Industry\Rarity Very Common Common Uncommon Rare Very rare
House Sand 33 Wood 25 Clay 19 Limestone 13 Granite 7
Weapons Iron 53 Aluminium 39 Oil 31 Saltpeter 24 Rubber 17
Food Fish 79 Fruits 66 Cattle 52 Grain 38 Deer 24
New Magnesium 19 Titanium 14 Wolfram 10 Cobalt 7 Neodymium 4
Each type of resource will have a different impact on the productivity bonuses based on their scarcity:
Rarity Very Common Common Uncommon Rare Very Rare
Productivity Bonus 10% 15% 20% 25% 30%
After the event ends, the Company owners will have to establish their Companies in the Regions of their choice in order to benefit from the new bonuses.
Claiming Resources
The President or Dictator in charge can claim a resource for one of his Country’s original Regions using Resource Tokens. Once a Country wins a Resource Token, a resource from the resource pool will be assigned to the eligible Region of the Country.
Using the resource assignation screen, the President/Dictator can pick one or more resources for each of the Country’s original Regions. Once a Resource Token is available for each resource available in the resource pool, at that moment the Regions will be processed from top to bottom and the wanted resources from right to left until an eligible Region is found for that resource. If the resource cannot be placed, the token is lost.
Once a resource is claimed, it will be displayed on the list, in the "Allocated" tab.
Resource Placement Rules
Rare and very rare resources of the same industry cannot be placed within a specific radius from each other. A Resource War map is available in order to plan the strategy and see how others’ decisions may impact it.
Industry Rares Very Rares
House 1500 3000
Weapons 1000 2000
Food 500 1000
New 2000 4000
Up to 4 resources can be placed in the same Region.
A Country can not assign more resources than the number of its historical (original) regions or 4 (if they have less historical regions).
The Resource Pool
The resources currently available and the ones that will be made available in the next 12 hours are shown in the “Resource Pool” tab.
Resource Tokens
A token is awarded to a Country for each 30 000 Domination Points (the sum of the Domination Points over all the Divisions) that the Country gathers in direct Battles and Resistance Wars (Civil Wars are not counted). A weekly Country Domination Points leaderboard is now online and a special “Domination Points till next token” leaderboard will be available during the event.
Division Swapping
For those of you who want to go the extra mile to help out their Country, during the event individual objectives will be available on the Battlefield, that once completed will allow the player to switch Divisions for the remaining of the round. When fighting in a “foreign” Division, the player will have his hit capped by the current max hit in the Division.
