Be prepared for war, when V1 comes out. (Raw Materials)

Hello fellow citizens of eCanada.

In case you missed the latest release from the admin about "Region Productivity's". A link is posted below.

Here is a list of raw materials:
1. Grain - For food production
2. Oil - For moving
3. Diamonds - For gifts
4. Iron - For weapons
5. Wood - For buildings, like houses and hospitals (and a new 'secret' building)

Each country and region within that country will be given a number of 0.1, 1, or 2, depending on that countries abundance of natural resource. Here is the chart giving the values for each region. [a url=http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pzoldhWsr8Ds5D_sH1TVrNA]Materials[/a]

So, for example Halifax is given a 2 for wood because it has a lot of wood. Alberta is given a 2 for grain and wood, and so on. The admin have tried to get as close to real world natural resources as possible. So some places have more raw materials than others.

This is where the title of the article comes in. With countries that don't have diamonds, lets say Italy. They will have to get their diamonds some where, and if they don't want to pay for it, they may want to take over a region that has diamonds by force. So now the war module will have a greater purpose than ever. Because now we have to fight for raw materials, if we don't want to pay for them.

We all know how greedy some leaders can be, and they will want to go to war over this. So now would be a great time to stock up on weapons and make sure you keep training.

Very good point. I agree completely we have a few weeks till v1 comes out and in my opinion the next president hopefully not Cottus Arci will help us implement this policy and hopefully help eCanada prepare itself for the times ahead.

Hmmm apparently Alberta doesn\'t have any oil!

Michel Junior Day 308, 11:25

lol, Alberta would have been simply to powerfull of a region.

Canada is a power house in Raw material since we are one of the few country that has 2 productivity in all sector but iron wich is still 1, just like real life. We need to take advantage of this. Our weapon industry will suffer from this but all other should prosper if we have a good goverment.

Hmm, I shall write something up that will serve as an in depth analysis.

Basically, we have a crapload of wood, but are lacking iron and oil.

I have a lot to say about the resources but this is what we get and this is what we work with. No point in referencing to RL, this is a great situation as is, evem though (ALBERTA OIL SANDS WOWOWOWOW) oil is a bit scarce here in eCanada.

Expect a response from me.

On that note, I can promise that Norsefire will be prepared for all these changes come october 1st and V1 and that we will adapt to any need that arises

ST-John got oil lvl 2 so that better then country that only have grain 1and one other ressource lvl 1. We can really dominate the world if we play are card right and make sure not to irritate our neibours that will look at at ressourc LVL with envy.
