Ok first off we see we can assign resources form the resource pool from the 6th May 2016 to the end of the next CP term so 6 June 2016.
A Country can not assign more resources than the number of its historical (original) regions (unless it has less than 4 regions, in which case it can assign 4 resources).
Example:
Singapore can get Fish, Fruits, Cattle and Grain in its only Region.
Romania has 9 historic Regions and can place 4 resources in Muntenia, 4 in Oltenia and another 1 in Moldova.
So Serbia can get 8 resources total and Ireland 6 resources. The Usa the preferential baby of the game can place 51 regions.
And there is a limited radius requirement for rare and very rare resources.
So effectively a small country like Ireland wont be able to place the rare and very rare of WRM for example and wont be able to place say 2 rare resources in the same country. Few countries will except the USA.
The requirements is in kilometer our 2 regions currently is 231km apart.
Ok so Ireland will be countrywide able to place 6 resources. And if they get a rare resource it can be taken by another country.
But best case scenario is for example Serbia Very Rare - Uncommon - Common - Very Common
Bonuses will work as follow
So 30 20 15 10 = 75% available per region
So for example Ireland could decide to go only for WRM or the new resource. No Houses and food is not that good either.
Ok I assume there is a reason we would place all our eggs in one nest so to speak because we can just leave our regions 1 resource per region. Weird thing is there will be now NO RESOURCE REGIONS. That will make it unattractive for big countries to possess as they will get lower taxes there.
We must assume in a country there will be the normal country bonus allocation and then a added value per region for factories . Why else would you place 4 resources in 1 region else.
THE BIG WINNERS
THE USA will be able to place all resources. Because of the size of their country they can place say WRM very Rare-uncommon -common -very common on the west coast and then place WRM Rare - uncommon - common - very common on the east coast.
Few other countries will have this option except perhaps China or Russia. Russia as far as I know have the largest land size of any country so guess Russia as well.

They wont necessary be able to keep the regions.
STRATEGY FOR small COUNTRIES
Although one do make money with food . How many Irish players have set up their factories for this. There is only recently a decent market.
There is 2 resources :new + weapons. So Ireland should shoot for 4 WRM and 2 New resources. Rare - uncommon - common - very common for wrm and any of the 2 new resources.
Serbia will probably take NEW - Very Rare- Uncommon - Common - very Common
and WRM - Very Rare - Uncommon - common - very common for its 8 regions and then after 8 days take other regions.
Why take other regions. A country like Italy wont place all its resources in occupied regions will it.
The occupied dilemma will be huge for some countries. Do you create attractive regions or 1 resource per region unattractive bonuses.
STRATEGY FOR BIG COUNTRIES
Get as much resources they can from their own regions thereafter take regions not covered. Small area big countries will be now at an disadvantage depending on the region allocation of bonuses. I may have food factories and get no region bonuses in Serbia. I assume one can only place in the original regions of your country.
As always does not make real sense. For example why only 1 resource per region allocated.

off for a few drinks tell me where you differ if i see your right will edit.
Ok see you guys

I want to life with common resources or very common ones i guess

Images are not displayed correctly.
it is showing on my end now. had a problem at the start. but all pictures is from the forum anyway
You should upload them through tinypic, then everyone can see them.
voted, very helpful. thank you.
Just wondered if good old "Fortress London" approach of putting all 6 resources to 2 regions and abandoning rest is an option and if a wise one?
i discuss that specifically in the next article
The only resource that matters is the money in your pocket and how the gypsies can get it into their own pockets.
lol yes guess so. time to build our own milking cows err online games i mean. with blockchains after the internet and programmer gave everything virtually free to the world we will all soon be paying for effin everything on the web.
Can someone explain the whole bit about the resources being given out to countries from left to right and top to bottom, and if the one you pick is not there when your turn comes you get nothing??? Is left to right and top to bottom resource rarity and country names in alphabetical order???
