Region productivities in V1
Plato
Dear Citizens,
The raw materials in V1 will be:
Grain - needed to create food units
Oil - needed to create moving tickets
Diamonds - needed to create gifts
Iron - needed to create weapons
Wood - needed to create buildings (hospitals, houses and a new secret building)
The food, moving, gifts and weapons industries will be considered the manufacturing domain.
In the productivity formula we have a variable called 'region productivity' which is now 1 for every region. For the raw materials industry this value will be 0.1, 1 or 2.
In order to get the geo-political and economical environment in the New World closer to reality, we have divided the raw materials per Erepublik regions, keeping as close as possible a connection with real life natural resources.
For example: In the Italian regions you won't find diamonds, so the region productivity value for diamond companies will be 0.1 in all its regions. However, in South Africa there will be a couple of regions where the region productivity will be 2. Needless to say, building a diamond company in Italy wouldn’t be a very good idea.
The main benefit of the resources industries will be that a new strategic element will be added to the Erepublik regions.
The values for the different regions’ productivities can be found [a url=http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pGmk9oLcxIcMhZ5pBlHDCZA]in this table[/a].
Best regards,
The Erepublik Team

Cool!
cool!
woot nice 🙂
At least some reward for my country
Interesting
Good idea, I welcome this with open arms because now wars will actually have a purpose.
nice job... we can\'t wait......
mencanta! So cool!
Blablabla u guys are gettin ur heads screwed on str8 blablabla.
Are you kidding me?! Sweden doesn\'t have any 2\'s in wood and iron?! That\'s our greatest rawmaterial-exports IRL, providing huge amounts of wood and iron to Europe. Why doesn\'t we have any 2\'s if you \"want to be as close as possible\"?
Seriously, Scania (Skåne) feeds almost the whole Sweden with grain and only gets 1.0 in the game?
Also interesting that you named the regions \'Denmark\' and \'Germany\', understandable, but still.
thanks for your information xD
And I agree with Karl, wood and iron where the first thing I thought of.
Secret building isn\'t secret anymore.. everyone knows what is..
Very cool! 😃
cool 😃
While we\'re bitching about what our countries didn\'t get, USA has pretty much everything, except diamonds. Now, we might not have huge rainforests like South America, but we do have pretty big forests, and I\'m surprised that Detriot didn\'t get a steel boost.
Although, I can understand why you\'d want to keep a balance, so I\'m not that upset
>Secret building isn\'t secret anymore.. everyone knows what is..
What is it?
Ehmmms Diamonds for gift?????
VERY COOL!
ROFL
COOOL!!
cool
wats the new secret building ???????😃
You could just as well have nuked our economy. Only 1 out of 5 raw materials is ridiculous, I know that IRL we import most natural resources as well but you can\'t 100% copy our real life economy.
Take Russia and China by example, both countries are huge IRL but ingame they have the smallest userbases (especially China since the game is banned) so they\'ve obviously been conquered. However those countries got about every natural resource?
Rusia got a 2 in EVERY sector...
Double Cool 😃
So Belfast now has oil fields?
That will make things interesting...
ehm...we want iron in calabria!
study please.
Great idea! This will encourage imports/exports !!
If those stats shall be implemented you must also take a look and count in the amount of companies that are in the region. Otherwise it will be unrealistic and unfair to many countries.
What was the source that the admin used upon determining what countries get the various resources?
i quote jazar
lol
austria with wood in only one region?
and grain in finland??????
ahahahah
you are jocking us.
who did this list, Santa Klaus?
wikipedia
By the way, this will affect a lot of companies and smaller countries.
A large number of companies will now need to import their resources and especially smaller countries with less resources and smaller companies will get a hard time. Other countries with larger companies and more resources will be able to get cheaper resources and this will enable them to make their products cheaper (other companies will need to raise the prices) and more.
Sounds like a great idea. Only one thing: Norway has a lot of grain production and little wood, this would be opposite in real life (only 3% of Norway is suitable for farming, but we have a hell of a lot of woods).
And oh yeah, Russia suddenly became worth a LOT for us 🙂
Jamtland Harjedalen and Lappland Sameland should have 2 Iron.
cool
The distribution of resources is pretty ridicolous sorry.
If u give grain to north of europe, a lot of regions should have more iron, wood and oil.
then i can speak for Italy for example. We have Alps and other montains chain, and only 2 regions have woods?
Sardinia and Tuscany are rich of copper and iron
I hope admins will review this list
I agree with Jazar. It\'s strange that these resources are not equally distributed. The Netherlands has natural gas and a lot of trade. Natural gas is somewhat the same as oil since it is used for the same purpose, so we could use oil also.
What about some countries in Afrika? Just strip them when they don\'t have any productivities? If you want to make it real then the Netherlands gets productivity of all sections, because the trading-agreements in real life.
Just remove the connection to real-life and keep this a game. Now some countries are stripped and can only survive on the kindness of others.
Im hesitant to call this a success. The established larger countries with militaries are going to gobble up any remaining smaller countries with resources and then these former smaller countries are going to be a battleground upon which the larger countries will squabble over for our resources.
There\'s no counter balance or offset to ensure these smaller countries even remain in the game.
While this could be a great idea, it does nothing to address the issue that starting an unprovoked war has absolutely zero consequences such as sanctions, boycotting of goods, etc. Its only going to encourage further war and less diplomatic interaction and formation.
This will take the economy to a new level.
mmmh funny,
I didn\'t know that in Austria and Slovenia there is a desert and in Finland and Norway they have grain.
Do they make pasta too?😁
sorry admins, but this list is retarded.
Innsbruck is plenty of wood.
This the most interesting article and the biggest disappointment I ever read in erepublik. I guess you cannot satisfy everyone but it will end with worldwars.
//Mjau
This breeds all kind of oppertunities. If i was owning a weapons company I would start making some contacts in countries that do have a lot of iron. Possible even establish an SO abroad that runs a mining company and distributes the raw resources against cost price. Just an idea...
@Admin/The Erepublik team: Is this list final or will it change until the V1 is released? The list REALLY lack some RL facts if it now shall be based on IRL, and I strongly suggest that you should look it over. An official statment if this list is final or not would be much appreciated to give answers to the eNations governments\'.
Thanks
Karl Holm, finance minister of eSweden
very bad list, the netherlands only have grain... how are we supposed to fight against other countrys with no iron?
yeah sure import.... and then? we dont have anythin to export so we will get bankrupt...
maybe its a idea to start the worldbank in erepublik...
wow....
Wow, epic fail at making this resemble RL resources in any possible way shape or form.
Yeah, give virtually every single country a great grain producing region, or 5 in admin land, (USA). Oh and of course, the UK has only one level 2 region which is in grain AND it\'s in London...!?? How many farms do you honestly believe are in London!? and since when was England the main provider of oil in the UK, that\'s Scotland..
Not happy, one bit.
Oh and nice work giving the USA basically everything, biased much?
Slovenia got grain 1 in all regions but nothing else? 🙂 atleast maribor and murska sobota should have grain 2 maribor and kranj should have wood 2 🙂 its not rly fair we get only grain 1 in every region 😶
Squiddy is right.
With this change, eR will be a disaster. Thanks to the admins giving all the power to three countries. Thanks to the admins breaking all the work done.
nice...need some extra effort to hold the imperialist..
