Gold

Gold is a special resources used for all premium actions, such as speeding up production / construction / research, increasing the morale of provinces, healing lost hitpoints of units and buying additional resources.

When a resource is needed to produce a certain unit, it is usually also needed to research the respective unit and to construct its required production building. Plan your needed resources ahead to not run into any bottlenecks.

Resource production

All provinces produce manpower and money, but only some provinces produce one of the five main resources. Those provinces are marked on the map with the according resource icon. Urban provinces produce higher resource amounts than rural provinces, indicated by their double resource icon on the map.

At the top of the screen the resource bar shows how many resources you currently have in store. For more details on your daily resource production and consumption rates you can tap on the resource bar on mobile or hover over the resource bar on desktop.



A province’s resource production rate is influenced by its morale as well as the level of constructed Industry buildings.


After units are produced they still require certain resources as upkeep. Thus, the more units you produce, the higher your resource consumption will be.

Stock market

If you run out of resources you can access the stock market to trade resources for money or money for resources. You can also buy additional resources with gold.
