2. Resources

In the game you need resources to build your town, to feed and warm your people and to hire troops for your army. There are 6 key resources you will need in this game:

Cash - Main resource in the game, you need cash for constructing, training units, buying goods and more.
Food - You need food to feed your people and army. Also construction and training units will cost food.
Wood - Needed for constructing buildings.
Stone- Needed for constructing buildings.
Fuel - You need fuel for moving trading and attack convoys.
Power - Certain buildings will need power to be productive.
Operation energy - Needed for your agents to perform special operations.
Force readiness - Needed to attack other players.


Your town can store a maximum 1999999 units of each resource. Resources reaching over this limit, are lost on the next tick.

Workforce

The workforce penalty is increased by 1% for every 1% workforce missing from your town, up to a max of 60%. So if you have a workforce requirement of 100, and you have a population of 70, then you will have a workforce penalty of 30%. You can calculate it with the following formula: 1 - (workforce/population) In our example, this would look like this: 1 - (70/100) = .3 or 30% penalty

You need the following amount of population for each building:

Huntin Cabin	3 Population
Farm	6 Population
Woodcutter	6 Population
Stone Quarries	10 Population
Gold mines	35 Population
Biomass powerplant	10 Population
Refinery	10 Population

You can gain or loose your resources in many ways, here you find a list of how to get or how you'll be losing them.
