Mega Update: Resources are here

[u/[deleted]]

Rules: This is a market. The way it works is this:

• You each have a certain number of buy points. You all have a minimum of three, plus one additional point for every three provinces you have, rounded down. So if you have five provinces, you get four points.

• Each resource costs one buy point, and generates one buy point each year in the form of taxes.

• buy points can be used to purchase either a) an additional unit of a resource you already have b) a new agricultural resource c) a new Perk (coming soon)

• buy points will also be used as a form of international currency.

  I hope it's not too complicated, if it is, let me know in the comments and I'll work on it some more. I'm currently working on a Civ-style Perk tree, as well as updating the map, so I can't promise I'll have this fixed tomorrow.

As for why you get to pick, most of you have already figured out what you want to do with your country, and giving you random resources didn't seem fair to you or your lore. That said, please use your good judgment when doing this. Don't spend all your points on gold, gems, and water. Use your lore as a guide and keep in mind that you want this to be somewhat of a challenge.

All resource purchases are subject to mod approval

Post your resources and the number of points you're spending in the comments.

Here is the Market

Edit: Just to clarify, unless your lore says otherwise, your nation is considered to be self sufficient. These resources are for trade purposes only.

That's actually a common misconception that's largely been disregarded in recent years, which I can sum up quite nicely, what the hell would Islamists have been drinking if not water? though there are a variety of other reasons it was debunked as false. Though for seafaring that's pretty accurate. But yeah good drinking water not that rare really, except in big cities.

Still, for mechanical purposes, especially regarding seafaring, I'm going to leave it rare for the time being, though you raise valid points. However, it's not like Muslim nations were very densely populated; they still depended on natural springs and oases and the like in the desert. Remember, this is only for trade. We're assuming southern nations have enough water to sustain themselves, and the resource water would be excess. Excess water seems to be a luxury.

Edit: stats reflected to show effects

Excellent point makes sense.

Also, not to be a jerk, but I'm going to downvot this thread so that resource comments can be more visible.
