IRSPOMC Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 What are the best resources in the game? And what are the worst? I have Marble and Fish, are they good or bad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enderland Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 Marble and fish are good (I have them too actually ). I would say best are Fish/Wheat and worst are Rubber/Gold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otherworld Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 There are no "best 2" really...just need 2 that fit into the best trading set, which yours do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Badger Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 Fish / Marble is a very good combo and you should easily be able to find the best trade set of Fast Food / Construction / Beer + Fish + Gems / Uranium. Fish / Wheat is the best combo in the game due to the population bonuses it gives, but I find that having any 2 of the 13 resources needed for the above setup is good enough. Although I couldn't say no to native Uranium Also Rubber / Gold isn't as bad as Furs / Oil or Lead / Silver. At least you can find a stable trade set with Rubber / Gold.

dealmaster13 Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 (edited) The real question is what is the best trade set? >_> Some people don't like marble because it gives you no income boost. Edited June 8, 2009 by dealmaster13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IRSPOMC Posted June 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 Marble gives you -10% on infra, which is the best discount in ALL of CN (unsure of it) What is the best TC for me? I am trying to set up an 8BR, is it good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Badger Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Nope. Your resources fit right into a Fast Food / Construction / Beer + Fish + Gems / Uranium setup. Which is the best trade set in the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enderland Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 A very common myth in CN is that more bonus resources are automatically better. This is not the case. The 8BR trade circle is not very good at all compared ot other circles (especially those you can get). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernando12 Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Speaking of 8BR being for suckers, I guess I am a sucker? My native resources are aluminum and uranium. Well, I'm trying to get a trade set that will give me all bonus resources except fast food, affluent, and beer. It gives me a minus 35.2% infrastructure cost, hence I can upgrade and increase population. But what I've also been trying to weigh is what if I get the population boosting resources? Would the "free" population boost out perform paying for cheaper infrastructure? And at the same time out perform the effects of the 8BR trade set? Increasing my infrastructure gives happiness which means citizens make more if I read correctly? Arghhh...I keep going back and forth on the resource tool trying to figure out what I should do. Your thoughts are greatly appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmutte693 Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Population boosting resources outperform infra cost reducing resources for two reasons: 1. The more population boosting resources you have, the more they help (1.08*1.08> 1.16) and the more infra reducing resources you get the less each one helps you (.90*.92>.82). 2. As your nation gets larger, and has more infra, your boosting resources give you more citizens. I have not checked your nation, so I do not know if you are still in the building stage (as far as improvements are concerned) but population boosting resources get you new improvements faster, thus making you even more money.

Lord Xnut Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Yes population boosters are the best resources since they in reality gives you double the bonus. Not only do you have more people so you get more tax payers, but more people also enables you to build more improvements so that you get the improvement bonuses too. More people also alows you to have more soldiers, that means you get to have more tanks as well. So not only do you get more improvements, but you get ecconomic and military benefits as well.
