Action Jackson Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 Trying to figure out the best resources combo for my CNT nation. I have Water/Spices. Correct me if I'm wrong, but i believe that I will be infrastructure/tech farming until I reach a certain level of Technology at which point it will be more worth it to tech raid instead of buying it myself (exactly when should this be?). So, if this is correct, what resources should i get during the pre-tech raid period (heavy infra combo) and then during the tech raid period (full war ready including selling banks/factories for guerrilla camps)? Thanks! PS- If anyone wants to start a trade ring, or needs my resources for a ring, let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Action Jackson Posted December 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 (edited) As usual, correct me if I'm wrong. So here's what I'm thinking, try these in the calculator: 1)For max income/infracost/infraupkeep/citizens: -Water, spices, aluminum, cattle, coal, gem, gold, lumber, pigs, silver, sugar, wheat. (beer, fast food, fine jewelry) 2)For military times/tech raid period: -Water, spices, lead, pigs, sugar, cattle, lumber, iron, marble, alum, rubber, oil. (fast food, construction, asphalt, [minus scholars for the time being]) 3) Hybrid (only if its better to just keep one straight resource set for all times): -Water, spices, coal, oil, rubber, alum, marble, iron, lumber, lead, gold, wheat. (automobiles, asphalt, construction, steel, RC, beer, [minus scholars for the time being]) I'm probably wrong about these resources and what their uses are (if there even is any), but I would feel stupid asking this epic question without giving it a shot. I think y'all would agree! I'm not sure if this will affect your resource set responses, but please keep in mind that this is referring to a brand new CNT nation. All input is accepted and appreciated very much. Thanks again. Edited December 2, 2008 by Action Jackson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Action Jackson Posted December 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 (edited) This is best suited to the Gameplay Discussion forums. I don't mean to argue with you (because I'm asking a favor from the community) but even though it would probably fit a little better in Gameplay Discussion, my topic still meets the description of this subforum (refer below) and it will get more attention here. The Open World Forum the only place for the OOC discussion of IC topics I appreciate your efforts, however!

Regardless, he's still right. With your resources get Fast Food, Construction, and Beer. With Fish and Uranium/Gems/Wine for the other two slots. Easy as pie, no other discussion needed.

Kryievla Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 I don't know if this will help you or not, it might though: trade circles & stuff One of the gramlins made that, and they are some of the best (maybe the very best) economists in game. It talks a little bit about some of the sets & advantages of each one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you intend to purchase nukes as soon as possible it may also be worth it to get uranium early while you can so you don't have to mess with your circle later down the line. You would ideally replace gems with uranium in that case. Also, wrong forum. Edited December 2, 2008 by Captain Flinders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Revan Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 TE stuff belongs in the TE forums, you will find that the strategy and best trades etc vary for TE as well. iMove to the TE forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Fish and Uranium/Gems/Wine for the other two slots. Easy as pie, no other discussion needed. Are you sure this is the best choice for a brand new nation? Also, i can understand why Uranium is one of the optional resources, but why is it between wine and gems? Do they produce exactly the same benifits? Would Oil or even lead be a viable option for war times instead of uranium/wine/gems? I'll be at war a lot in CNT.

sammykhalifa Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 It's pretty much a given that Beer-FF-Construction is the best combination (almost) no matter what the situation. It will make you money, which lets you get bigger, which gets you more military things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, probably, but I'm asking you all to also consider the effectiveness of using resources that boost the size of your army and such. Things effective during war.

Fireandthepassion Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 (edited) Best set up would be Beer, Fast Food, and Construction instead of Gems get Lead or Uranium instead. Also iirc 3 bonus set up like that gives you about 25% more citizens meaning more military to keep them happy.

Action Jackson Posted December 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 Okay so based on everyones responses i have decided to go with Beer, construction, fast food with fish and uranium or oil. Anyone else have any input? It would be much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
