Resources

---

Resources are materials every territory produces, they are used in massive amounts to produce most things in the world. Each territory has a production cap in each type of resource related to its characteristics. A mountain territory, or example, will have a low FOOD cap and a high MINERALS cap.

Population
Population is the most basic resource, basically it represents the amount of healthy, working age people in your nation. Each person in your nation will consume 1 food per turn. The amount of resources you produce per turn will depend on the amount of people you allocate to those resources. Population is used to construct buildings, recruit units and produce other resources. Each turn, your population will increase slightly as long as you have an excedent of food in the territory.

Gold
Gold represents the standart currency of Lemire, all military units must be paid with it and all projects must be financed with it. Gold can be obtained from mines, hills, deserts and in a lower scale, from rivers. Gold is used for almost everything.

Food
Food represents the basic foodstuffs required for a population to survive, though no luxury, imported or fancy foods are included in this. Food is produced by grasslands, farmlands, seas and, to a lower degree, forests. Food is used to feed one's population, army, and agents.

Minerals
Minerals represent the basic ores used both in the manufacturing of metals and stone, things like iron, copper, bronze, stone, etc are counted within minerals, though not gold, silver, marble, etc. Minerals are produced by mountains, hills, and, to a lower degree, deserts. Mineals are used in the construction of buildings and the training/upkeep of units donning metal equipment.

Timber
Timber represents wood used in the edification of buildings, ships and the production of some weapons. Timber is produced by Forests, Jungles and, to a lower degree, grasslands. Timber is used in construction of buildings, ships, and the production of bows, arrows, spears, wooden shields, etc.

Magic
Magic represents the spiritual and magical powers of the spellcasting population in a nation. Magical nations are able to create feats of impressive power and awe their opponent, sweeping entire armies as if they were ants. However, they tend to lack technological development and infrastructure, making its actual military units weaker than those of research oriented nations. Magic is produced by magic oriented buildings such as the Mage's Guild and Temple. Magic is used to research spells, recruit/upkeep some military units and cast National Powers.

Research
Research represents the technological and cultural development within a nation. High research nations are able to mantain their populations happier and their armies better armed. However, they lack the power to cast spells and powers as powerful as those of the magic inclined nations. Research is produced by some military or cultural buildings such as the Armory or the Scriptorium. Research is used to develop new weapons, technologies and combat doctrines.
