You Require More Vespene Gas	comment	In Real-Time Strategy games, the player needs to acquire resources in order to build anything. The number of resources to acquire and the means to acquire them vary from game to game, but overall there are five types of resources: Gold: Also called Cash, Requisition, Credits, Resource Points, etc.... Gold is your primary resource. You will need it for everything you plan to do. If there is a Black Market to buy other resources from, the gold-type resource is what's used as currency. If a game has only one resource, it's likely this one (if not, it's power). Lumber: A secondary resource; it's not as important as gold, but usually is needed for specific purposes (such as paying for upgrades or buildings). It's not that rare, but in the later stage of the game, everything will require Lumber. Some games have more than one Lumber-type resource, with each resource usually having a specific focus (for example, wood is needed for buildings, metal is needed for units). Power: A resource that is rarely found on the map, it's more likely to be produced by specific buildings or units. Power is different in that you do not build a stock of it (usually). You have a power supply (generated by certain structures), and a power demand (caused by most structures, if in varying armounts). If the demand ever exceeds the supply, bad stuff happens, varying from lowered building speeds, to some structures or units entirely ceasing to function. Population: Population is a cap on your growth, typically functioning as an Arbitrary Headcount Limit. Like Power, it is usually provided by certain buildings or upgrades, rather than being harvested from the map. If demand exceeds supply, you can't build more units. Existing units may or may not die. Uselessium: Any resource you have no use for, usually because either you're at the wrong point in the Tech Tree (too low or too high), or you're the wrong faction; shows up only occasionally. If it can be exchanged for cash, it's Shop Fodder. If it is cash but still can't be used for anything, it's Money for Nothing. How exactly these resource are gathered varies. Sometimes your basic Worker Unit will go back and forth from the resource node back to your base, giving you a bit of resource each time. Other times the player may need only to capture the resource node with units and/or build a building on top of it gain a constant flow of the resource. Occasionally, the game allows you to trade one resource for another in some way. Collecting natural resources can also be seen as an easy way to avoid the Unfortunate Implications of looting and pillaging, a war crime going as far back as The Roman Empire; avoiding a What the Hell, Hero? moment, because no one owns nature. Some games use Gaia's Lament as a means to do the opposite, even having it as the reason for a group In Harmony with Nature to get involved in a conflict. Because The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard, don't expect it to actually need resources. He's still gathering them, but it's likely he can do without. If this trope happens enough, the audience might find it annoying. See also Construct Additional Pylons, No Recycling and Command & Conquer Economy. A specific type of Easy Logistics. When you require a resource to make another resource, it's a case of Refining Resources. Examples

You Require More Vespene Gas / int_12a8c685	comment	Boom Beach, made by the developer of Clash of Clans, has a more complex resource system. First, you have four main resourcesâ€”Gold, Wood, Stone, and Iron, with the latter three filling the "Lumber" position. Gold is used to train and upgrade troops, and is also spent when launching attacks, exploring new areas on the player's map, and when the player sends his or her Submarine (available at medium levels) on a dive for resources. Most buildings are initially created with wood, with stone and iron added at higher levels. (Some buildings available only at higher levels require all three of these resources to build, and buildings that produce resources other than gold don't require that specific resource for upgrades.) The main "Power" equivalent is Power Stones, used to create statues that can boost your attacking ability, base defense, or resource production. There are three typesâ€”Fragments, Shards, and Crystals, which in turn enable your base's Sculptor to create Idols, Guardians, and Masterpieces respectively, with the statue's power increasing accordingly. A lower-level statue can be recycled (i.e., destroyed) to create one Power Stone of the next-higher level; recycling a Masterpiece creates 7 Power Powders; each of these makes a statue more powerful for 3 hours of real time. You also have a chance of getting Power Stones when defeating an enemy base (either that of another player or the game itself), and it's also possible for your Submarine to pick up Power Stones from a dive. At higher levels, the Weapon Lab (which allows the creation of prototype defenses that last one week of real time) becomes available; it's upgraded with the same resources as other buildings. However, it requires its own set of Lumber-type resourcesâ€”Critical Fuse, Complex Gear, Power Rod, Field Capacitorâ€”to build defensive structures. Those resources are also obtained by defeating enemy bases (though, as in the case of Power Stones, most bases won't yield one of these) and occasionally from Submarine dives (only at high levels).

You Require More Vespene Gas / int_13a33716	comment	The original Spellforce has seven resources: Food, Wood, Moonsilver, Lenya Plants, Aria (sort of magical water), Iron and Stone. Different forces used different resources, which meant it encouraged combining multiple Light or Dark races; Elves, for example, could access some of their more powerful units by paying Iron, but lacked the ability to gather it for themselves, and could use the Forester building to gain an infinite supply of wood. Spellforce 2 has Stone and Silver share the gold type for their particular foci (buildings for Stone, and units for Silver), plus Lenya as a shared lumber type for anything magical. Farms also supplied Population. The Player Character could gather gold but only used it on equipment for hero units, making it exclusive to the RPG side of the game. Spellforce III also has seven resources; only four of these (food, wood, stone and iron) are used by all factions, while the remainder are each unique to one of the three factions. Food and wood are essentially gold types, being needed for all units and all buildings respectively, while the others are needed for more advanced production and research. They are all present in a finite amount on the map, however, food can additionally be produced in infinite amounts by farms, while in the campaign the player character can acquire the ability to replenish the three other common resources. Gold is again only used in the RPG portions of the game to purchase equipment.

You Require More Vespene Gas / int_13f21e09	comment	Company of Heroes has three resources: Manpower, Fuel and Munitions, but only two follow this trope. Manpower is gold and Fuel is lumber (used for vehicles and advanced buildings), while Munitions are used for special abilities like airstrikes and throwing grenades. However, Fuel and Munitions are gathered like gold (owning the territory where the resource is located increases the rate at which you gain that resource), and Manpower was gained proportional to the amount of the map you controlled: the more you controlled, the faster you'd gain Manpower. In the eastern front mod, The Russians use munitions like a wood resource, where all upgrades cost both fuel and munitions. Abilities are free for them and have a longer cooldown.

The most advanced parts tend to require dilithium (one of the two game currencies) in their build. A workaround is to build the part at a lower level, then upgrade it. However, upgrading also costs dilithium, either directly or indirectly, so no matter what you will be spending money if you want the best gear.

You Require More Vespene Gas / int_183d76b3	comment	Astro Empires has a bit of an odd system: Credits are required by everything, and are supplied by your Bases' Economy, which increases as you build more Structures (certain Structures give more Economy than normal). Area is used up as you build Structures, and each type of planet starts with a set amount (moons have less, and asteroids have the least), which can be increased using Terraforming and Multi-Level Platforms. Population is also used up as you build, and is increased according to your Astro's Fertility (which can be increased with Biosphere Modification) every time you build an Urban Structure (later on you get Orbital Bases, which give a set amount of Population regardless of Fertility, and don't take up Area). Energy is the last resource that gets used up as you build, and is increased by Solar and Gas Plants, according to your Astro's Solar Energy and Gas stats, respectively (Fusion and Antimatter Plants give Energy regardless of resources). Metal Refineries increase your construction and production speed by your Astro's Metal stat. Crystals are the rarest resource, and boost your Economy for every Crystal Mine you build.

Gold is both a Gold-type and a Population-type (in the form of your army's wages), Food is purely a Population-type, and Mana could fit either as a Lumber-type (can be stockpiled for casting spells) or a Power-type (must be gathered either by generating it from city improvements such as Temples, or sending magic spirits to claim magical nodes). Cities also have a Production resource, which can either be applied to building city improvements, training units, increasing the size of the city, or generating Gold.

However, it will recover if you give it time, though you'll be poor. This makes solar flares a goldmine. Your station can make anything else locally, apart from metal ores - if you have enough Energy. The game also averts No Recycling by allowing you to build a recycling plant (operated by Groulien Salt Hogs), converting garbage into energy. You can also use it to dispose of bombs planted by competitors.

Logs are required for every building, and they can be refined into planks or paper, which in turn can be refined into other materials. Beavers also need food and water, and there are a lot of crops they can grow; some can be eaten directly, while others need to be prepared first. Each faction has a different way to reproduce; the Folktails have a chance to give birth at night if you have at least two beavers and at least one empty bed, while the Iron Teeth grow babies in vats using a small amount of basic resources. Finally, far away from the starting point on every map, your beavers can scavenge scrap metal from human ruins.

You collect water, which, when the building's silo is full, is sent off-world and converted into credits. Taelon can be used to top-up power generators; however, a lack of taelon won't disable a generator - it'll merely cause it to run at half efficiency. Therefore, building twice as many generators allows you to ignore taelon altogether. Dark Reign 2 only has taelon and uses it as a Gold-type resource.

You Require More Vespene Gas / int_2acb12c5	comment	The economy in the X-Universe games revolves around the production of wares. Energy is spontaneously generated on solar power plants, and is required in the production of every other ware. Minerals are mined from asteroids and are used in tech factories and military equipment. Bio (wheat, raw meat, etc) is made by bio factories and used by secondary factories and food factories. Food (burgers, MREs, etc) is used in the production of Tech and Military equipment. Secondary factories build mostly non-essential goods, though some Tech factories need them. Tech (microchips, fighter drones, etc) are not used in the production of non-player wares (though they are used by the player to build ships), and Tech typically has some utility, like placing satellites in sectors or defending stations with automated laser turrets. Military equipment (lasers, shields, missiles) built essential equipment for equipping ships. Every race has its own unique Bio, Secondary, and Food factories, and their Tech and Military factories require that race's food. For example, an Argon Particle Accelerator Cannon Forge requires the Argon's Meatsteak Cahoonas, Energy, and Minerals.

Instead, a map in the game is divided into territories that are conquered by capturing the flags at the centers of each territory. Control of a territory brings with it control of whatever lies inside, such as robot or vehicle factories. Production for a factory is chosen and units are periodically generated with more advanced units requiring more time to produce. The more territories a player controls the lower the time required for that player's factories to produce units.

It's obtained in finite quantities from gold veins in the ground, though some maps contain gem seams which offer an inexhaustible supply of gold at a lower collection speed. Chickens are something of a Power-Type resource, as you need them to feed your creatures. They begin to lose health if there are not enough to eat. If you run out, they get really grumpy and may leave your dungeon. In the second game, Mana is introduced as a Power-type resource to cast spells, keep traps functional, and sustain imps. It regenerates at a constant rate proportional to the size of the Keeper's territory, although rare mana vents boost the rate dramatically. Mana is also needed in tremendous quantities to summon the Horned Reaper.

You Require More Vespene Gas / int_3bfe75fa	comment	Halo Wars has a single resource for both playable factions called "Supply". It pretty much serves the function of gold in trope-speak. "Supply" is generated by buildings, you can have as many as you want (within the total building limit of your base), and it's also found in crates in random locations on the map. Naturally, there is a trade off. A building that generates supply takes up one section of your base. In games where you can build as much as you want, this wouldn't be a problem, but Halo Wars limits your buildings to the number of building spaces your base can support (maximum of seven). So, while Supply is infinite, building too many supply-creating buildings cripples your ability to turn that supply into units, effectively making you wealthy but undefended. Also keep in mind that power is a resourced, played relatively straight. The number of power plants the player has, the higher the player's tech level, determining what units, abilities, and research the player can use. However, each power plant costs more supply than the last, so attempting to reach for the endgame units and abilities too early will leave a player subject to a Zerg Rush by more cost-efficient low-tech units. For that matter, each base has only limited space to construct buildings, and that in itself can be seen as a kind of population-type resource. The only way to get more maximum building space is to find an secure another (pre-defined) base location and spend supplies establishing a secondary base on it.

SimCity 2000 adds water, but the pumping stations can't get enough water coverage no matter how many of them you have (which is why you use pipelines). SimCity 3000 adds waste management to the mix. Unlike RTSes, however, the only resource you need (as Mayor) is money. Power, water, and waste management are things you build with that money that are necessary to attract Sims (i.e. citizens), create jobs, and gain popularity. Since population, jobs, and popularity are (theoretically) your goal, these "resources" are actually more like the units in an RTS, i.e. the tools with which you achieve your aim. However, it is true that money works like Gold and power works like Power, as do water (with the proper infrastructure) and waste management (again, with proper infrastructure).

On the other hand, you are a king over an empire, and these resources are not directly gained while in battle like other Real-Time Strategy games - they come into play during the turn-based portion. These may be traded in specific quests, along with artifacts and ladies, and gold and food can be swapped for one or the other at a loss in winter.

The other basic resources — water, iron, natural gas, oil, and unobtainium — all require buildings in order to extract them. All of these can be refined into more complex resources, and there's only a finite amount of them on each planet. There are also several electricity generators, with varying degrees of efficiency and carbon dioxide emissions.

Power can be generated by stand-alone structures, but some of the best power plants for-cost are ones that rely on an on-map energy source like geysers. Population isn't a cap here, either. It's the actual population of the base, which grows over time as a geometric growth rate influenced by morale and structures. The previous installment Outpost utterly averts this, and demonstrates why Tropes Are Not Bad: before discovering nanotechnology you have to manage dozens of resources, a shortage of any one of which put your colony into a slow, irrevocable death spiral until eventually you run out of air and Everybody Dies. And whether a particular mine produces what you need is basically random chance. The recycling center's Multi Purpose Goo will cover temporary shortfalls but it's not generally enough to run a colony on.

In Real Life, koku was never a currency but a unit of measure, sometimes defined as the amount of rice to feed a single person for a year (about 330 pounds). While wealth of a region was often measured in "koku", it normally didn't equate to gold.

Of the two kinds of Lumber, troop production requires more Metal, while research requires more Crystal. Sins has a unique take on the Arbitrary Headcount Limit as well: in addition to needing to be researched, it is linked directly to "upkeep," with each expansion of the Cap resulting in a flat-rate tax being taken off all your harvesting. The final level results in a headcount of 2,000 and a resource reduction of 75%... which isn't as bad as it sounds, since you can assemble a game-ending fleet with around 1,200 headcount. Finally, there is a secondary Arbitrary Headcount Limit concerning Capitol Ships, the game's Hero Units. In addition to 50 Normal Supply, they also require 1 Capital Ship Supply. These are more expensive than Normal Supply, and you only get 16 of them, but they don't result in harvesting reduction.

Abstract resources (training, civics, growth) are used city by city to produce things like production in civilization games, effecting the time to build things, if the city is not building something that uses the resource, civics and training accumulate empire wide for other purposes, growth causes population to increase.

You Require More Vespene Gas / int_56fa0ea4	comment	The first four games in Sid Meier's Civilization series have three primary resources: Food (Nutrients in Alpha Centauri), which feeds the city's population and increases it when the stockpile reaches a certain point, Production ("Shields" in Civ 1, 2 and 3, Minerals in Alpha Centauri, "Hammers" in Civ 4), which is used to build improvements and units, and Commerce (Energy in SMAC), which goes either to research, your treasury (which can be used to speed up production, and is needed to support buildings and/or units, depending on the version of Civilization), or making your citizens happy (more important at higher difficulties). In addition, in games after Civ 3, there are strategic resources, which are required for some units and upgrades or otherwise enhance your empire in some way, as well as bonus resources that give you extra Food, Production or Commerce. Starting in Civ 4, it is possible to know about a resource without having the technology to actually use them. This particularly common in IV, where Uranium is known upon the discovery of Physics (a late Renaissance-Era tech) but not actually usable until you discover Fission (a late Industrial-Era tech), turning Uranium into Uselessium for an entire tech level. (Having said that, you want Uranium, so knowing where it is can aid in your long-term strategic plans. This is even more important if you're in one of those matches where the AI magically knows where all the strategic resources are, from the first turn on up.) Starting in Civ 5, Science and Culture are divorced from Commerce and are now produced directly from buildings (making them rather like RTS Power). The Gods and Kings expansion, which reintroduces the concept of religion, adds Faith as a third building-created Power-type resource. Starting in the Gathering Storm expansion of Civ 6, Strategic Resources have been reworked into a Lumber-type resource, which is stockpiled by your empire every turn and can be used for the construction of various units and buildings. Late-game strategic resources like Coal, Oil and Uranium do double duty as Power-type resources, requiring a steady income of each as maintenance for your units lest they gain reduced combat effectiveness.

You Require More Vespene Gas / int_5bd0554b	comment	Warcraft: The original game is the Trope Codifier for the Gold- and Lumber-type resources. Gold, the primary resource, is obtained from gold mines, which contain finite supplies of gold, have a clear maximum collection rate, and collapse once they have been completely drained. Lumber is used to build Archers (or Spearmen, if you're playing the orc campaign), Catapults, and buildings. There's also a Population-type "resource" which extends the Arbitrary Headcount Limit, and is acquired by building more farms or burrows. Warcraft 2 had a second Lumber-type resource, oil, which was found in water and used almost exclusively for naval units and upgrades (And unlocking the final tier). It was useless until you reached a certain level of technology. Warcraft 3 also has another minor tertiary resource - corpses. The most obvious way to get them is to kill ground units or creatures, but the Undead can also produce them at Graveyards or in Meat Wagons, and carry them around in Meat Wagons. They're primarily used by the Undead for raising Skeletons and Carrion Beetles, healing Ghouls and Abominations, and for the Death Knight's Animate Dead ability. They're also used by the Night Elf Warden's Avatar of Vengeance, the Human Paladin's Resurrection ability (only friendly corpses), and the Tauren Spirit Walker's Ancestral Spirit ability (only friendly Tauren corpses). Earlier in development (as shown in several previews years before the game came out), corpses were supposed to play a far greater role in the undead economy, but this could never be properly balanced, so they were scaled back to the limited use seen in the actual game.

Worker vehicles simply huddle around the node and draw from it, providing a constant supply of energy points to spend. Players could also build solar panels on a Floating Island to harvest solar energy. Given how even large lava pools could be quickly drained by a dozen workers tapping from it, solar panels eventually prove extremely cost-effective to players looking to build advanced technologies.

You Require More Vespene Gas / int_6c1234ed	comment	Dwarf Fortress resources come in standard flavors like stone, gems, body parts, ores, and logs, except there are many, many subtypes of each. Even stone comes in over a hundred varieties, some of which have valuable properties, like flux stones for making steel. Like everything else, the process to make steel from iron is rather complicated. The trope is currently played straight, however, in that there isn't much functional difference between types of stone save for their melting point when constructing buildings or defensive fortifications. To make this worse, resources present on the map are determined through a process of simulated geology. While you can pick a starting area with favourable mineral analysis, you can't really predict what you're going to end up short on. And many resources and commodities (particularly food and clothing) can end up rotting or being otherwise contaminated before you get a chance to use them for their intended purpose. This is somewhat (but not entirely) offset by the fact that there are multiple resources that can be used for most jobs.

The same applies for wood, which is required for construction.

The size of your population and the number of houses they have between them also affects how large an area you can cover in the game. In the end, though, it turns out that lumber is a seriously lacking resource, because you constantly need to harvest it to build more houses, and forests have a nasty habit of running out of trees unless you took up gardening and treated your followers as vermin to be kept away from the rutabagas.

Building stations, conducting research, and purchasing certain advanced ships requires He-3, which is harvested by AI mining ships from special asteroids. Arguably, the game also has a second Lumber-type resource — the asteroids themselves. Every new base needs to be built on an asteroid, which is consumed in the process. Some advanced bases require specific kinds of asteroid, which will get increasingly hard to find and secure as the battle goes on. "Population" can also said to be a resource in the game — but in the case of Allegiance, your "population" is made up of Real Life human beings playing on your team. With the exception of a very few (non-combat) drones, every ship the team fields will need an actual human pilot.

You Require More Vespene Gas / int_92d4c7b8	comment	Colonization, a variant of Civilization set in the American colonial era, has numerous available resources, reflecting the way a continent will have areas rich in different resources. Most of the resources translate into gold, and require specialists to take full advantage of them. For example, cotton can be grown on certain types of land, with some squares especially rich in cotton. The raw materials can be sold, but are worth far more if there is a specialist available who can convert them into finished products, such as a weaver who can convert the cotton into cloth. There are also specialists who make gathering the resources more productive. Population is tied to religion points, as increased religion points will entice freedom-seeking European emigrants. It is also necessary to employ statesmen to raise rebel sentiment, without which independence cannot be declared, and the game cannot be won. The resources a colony needs for itself are wood, iron ore and food.

You Require More Vespene Gas / int_999855bb	comment	Heroes of Might and Magic uses a whopping seven resources, with gold as, well, Gold, and with wood, ore, gems, crystal, sulphur, and mercury as Lumber. Gold is the easiest to get, generated automatically by cities, gold mines, and certain items and skills, with upgrades to cities increasing that city's income. Wood and ore are both secondary resources, gathered at a rate of 2 per day from ore mines and sawmills, and also by certain items. Gems, crystal, sulphur, and mercury are all tertiary resources, produced by their respective mines, or, in the case of mercury, in labs, at the rate of 1 per day, and generally required for higher-level buildings and units. Certain town buildings also increase income of different resources, and any resource can be traded for any other in a marketplace, with the price becoming more favourable the more markets you control. Each faction inherently biases towards a certain rare resource in most games, meaning that the others are relegated to Uselessium for the most part. Every town does need some of every resource, but only in limited quantities. Excess can be traded away at a marketplace. Unfortunately for Heroes 1, there was no marketplace and the bias was worse than ever, but hindsight is 20/20. Starting with Heroes VI, all of the tertiary resources were condensed into just one: crystal. This does have the side-effect of hurting the usefulness of your marketplace, since you no longer have multiple useless resources to trade for resources you need.

The Red Alert series uses "ore" as its Gold; another variant, gems, function exactly like ore, only it's worth more money. Generals uses "supplies", mainly found in supply docks and occasionally as UN crates scattered around the battlefield, but also acquired via special support structures that serve as the only late-game source of income once the aforementioned supply docks are depleted (as they do not regenerate). All series have Power as, well, Power (though the spiritual predecessor Dune II is the Trope Namer for that resource). There is also often a Population limit on air vehicles, usually planes (number of Airstrips). Helicopters and other VTOL are able to land anywhere, but still needed a pad to rearm most of the time. Command & Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight changes their Gold into a Lumber-type, where they pay for upgrades instead. Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2's expansion, Yuri's Revenge, though no different in the only-Gold-and-Power-type-resource paradigm, gives you the Grinder, allowing you to turn units, or civilians whom you have mind controlled, into resources on demand. Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 lampshades it in one of its tutorials with the page quote.

You Require More Vespene Gas / int_a3402a3	comment	Total Annihilation uses two, Energy and Metal. Metal is a Gold-type resource, while Energy was both Lumber and Power. Both have an input and an output (constructing creates a drain on Mass/Energy, rather than taking the cost out all at once), as well as a limited reserve that players begin to use up if their output surpasses their input. Some units and buildings constantly add to the output; if you run out of Energy, defensive structures stop working and some units lose some weaponry and special abilities (such as cloaking or energy weapons like the Commander's D-gun.) Further reducing the turtleyness of the game, the remains of defeated units can be harvested for Metal. This gives the game a slightly different feel to the economy as, instead of simply gathering and hoarding resources to build units and upgrades, the player is instead balancing the input and output of their economy, gathering enough to build and operate what they need, while using it fast enough to keep from wasting it. This also created an interesting wrinkle in that the availability of metal on a given map could vastly change the required strategy. Core Prime's entire surface area was metal, meaning extractors could be plonked down anywhere en masses to fuel massive unit production. On the other hand, other maps had only precious few metal deposits, meaning one had to invest far more into energy collectors to fuel the very inefficient metal makers and be far more conservative in what they built.

It's possible, however, to change 4 units of any resource into 1 of any other by trading with unknown NPCs, meaning a player can, for example, build a road starting out with 8 sheep. Wood and brick are the most important resources in the early game, but become Shop Fodder in the late game. The Cities and Knights expansion introduced three more Lumber-type resources needed for advanced improvements.

It's actually food that's the most important resource and functions as both Gold and Population in other RTS games. Almost all units require food to produce and some can be bought with food alone, if your food reserves run out completely then most of your units will start starving until they're reduced to a few hit points, food taken from your reserves can be used to slowly heal damaged units and finally the size of your food reserves is used to measure the maximum population. Material acts as the Wood resource in other games, it's mostly used to make buildings and is a small component of cavalry and vehicles. Finally there's gold in the game which is used only for buying high end units and buildings, making this the least important resource. The Imperial faction has one unique resource which is faith. Faith is produced in churches and other religious buildings, it's used to power the miracles that the Imperials can use — such as calling down fire from the skies.

Silicons, an alien race, use different resources: Silicon (their equivalent of Metal), Corium and Energy (their equivalent of Oxygen.) The 2013 release adds some odd complications. Not only is water made an exhaustible (though renewable) resource, meaning you might have to keep moving water pumps in a place with a low water table, there are several optional resources that can be tapped with special buildings: coal, ore and oil. These can be sold for a quick buck or refined and combined in yet more specialised buildings to make increasingly complex (and lucrative) products like plastic, alloy, and computers.

You Require More Vespene Gas / int_a9794cdf	comment	Nether Earth predates Dune II and features resource gathering, although here, you use the resources to produce robots directly. Once a new in-game day begins, you're granted with a set amount of General points for producing any robot part you want, and, if you've already captured several factories, several part-specific points. Given how many points you actually need to produce an army that could pull off a decent fight, saving up on Generals this way might be a nice idea. Another pre-dating RTS examples would be Herzog Zwei and its' little-known big brother Herzog, which accumulate money for you each half-a-second. However, while in Herzog, you just received less cash depending on how far you were from your homebase, its' sequel actually allows players to control his incomes by capturing (or, by skills bad enough, losing) a certain number of bases on the map. Therefore, one might consider it a slightly simplified variant of Nether Earth's resource generation.

Both resources have a clear maximum collection rate per site. This difference from Warcraft — where wood has an extremely high collection rate limit — results in a drastically different tempo. Finally, the Protoss and (sort of) Zerg have Power resources. All Protoss buildings must be built near pylons, and shut down if the pylons are destroyed. Zerg buildings must be built on creep, which spreads out from hatcheries and creep colonies; however, losing the creep source doesn't hurt the buildings. Zerg larvae are used to produce all Zerg units and they spawn from the main production buildings once every 14 seconds or so. Population is also a resource. Each race has a standard Population cap (Terran supply depots, Zerg overlords, Protoss pylons), independent of each other. If you can acquire a Worker Unit of a different race, you get an entirely new population cap to work with that applies only to that other race's units. StarCraft II kept the same formula but changed a few details: Vespene geysers are no longer infinite (depleted geysers gave a quarter of the normal output), Zerg can boost their larva production from three to seven via micromanagement, and campaign-only automatic Vespene gathering. In addition, Zerg buildings now die slowly if their creep source disappears, making creep into a true Power resource.

You Require More Vespene Gas / int_c0eae17	comment	Total War: Typically, there's just one standard currency, e.g. florins in Medieval. This is used to purchase all units and buildings in the game. There's also a number of ways to acquire more money, such as through merchant trade (including "acquiring" other merchants' business), generation of money by farming, mining, and trade, sacking enemy towns, or ransoming captured enemy troops. There's no population limit, but you are limited with how many troops you can order per settlement per turn, and certain settlements only have a certain number of troops of each type that can be ordered, and must replenish from the local "pool" of troops available - representative of the fact that if you recruited a few hundred knights from a particular region, you'll have to wait for either more nobles to come of age to join the military or for more peasants or middle-class citizens to be levied/recruited for combat. Interestingly, the very first game in the series, Shogun: Total War, has "koku" as a standard currency. In Real Life, koku was never a currency but a unit of measure, sometimes defined as the amount of rice to feed a single person for a year (about 330 pounds). While wealth of a region was often measured in "koku", it normally didn't equate to gold. Total War: Warhammer mainly just has gold used for all unit and building production (the Vampire Counts give it a different name, but it behaves identically). Some factions have their own unique resources used in various ways. Bretonnia has serfs, which must be balanced between working in the economy and being deployed to the battlefield; Dark Elves collect slaves which can be used to increase gold production or spent in various rituals; Ogres have meat, which is gained by winning battles and used to pay units' upkeep and to make offerings to the Great Maw. Total War: Warhammer II: In the main campaign, The Eye of the Vortex, the major factions race to gather a unique resource to power a ritual to prevent (or cause) the end of the world. Each race, with two rival factions per race, collect a different resource, but they all function identically, mainly being produced by control of certain locations or buildings, and only being used for the campaign objective and not production. A Total War Saga: TROY, which is set in the Bronze Age and thus before the developement of formal coinage, uses Food, Wood, Stone, Bronze and Gold. Food and Wood are used for early-game units and buildings, Stone and Bronze are added to the cost of higher-tier units and buildings, and Gold is used to produce faction-unique units, high-tier buildings and unlocking certain high-level technologies. Each non-city settlement in the game produces one of the five resources, making obtaining new sources of resources you are low on a priority for expansion or trade. Food is also produced in ports, simulating the nascent fishing industry of the era. Total War: Pharaoh uses the same resource system as TROY. The player is unlikely to be fully self-sufficient in producing these without negotiating barter agreements with neighbours and allies.

You Require More Vespene Gas / int_c19c6efa	comment	Minecraft's resource system was a bit esoteric when it came out, but has since been imitated by many other games. Lumber moves to the "Gold" category—in a new game, you almost always have to collect some before you do anything else (infamously, you accomplish this by punching a tree). This lets you make a crafting table, the starting and/or ending point for crafting almost everything else. You also need wood to make most weapons and tools—stone pickaxes and diamond pickaxes both require wooden handles—and torches, which you'll need in abundance unless you like stumbling around in the dark through monster-infested caves. Running out of wood is surprisingly easy, since you usually won't find any underground where most of your other resource-gathering gets done, so this forces you to spend time on the surface chopping down trees, and planting new ones when the nearest forest runs out. Most other materials are secondary, and transition into uselessness later in the game: your first tools will be pure wood, then stone, then iron, and eventually, diamond. Enforced somewhat by collection requirements; you can't collect stone with your bare hands, or diamond with anything less than an iron pick. Emerald, the only currency-like resource, was a late addition in the game, used only when trading with villagers (an optional sidequest of sorts). Villagers also bring a Population-type limitation: you can "breed" them, but only if the village has enough beds.

There's also a number of ways to acquire more money, such as through merchant trade (including "acquiring" other merchants' business), generation of money by farming, mining, and trade, sacking enemy towns, or ransoming captured enemy troops. There's no population limit, but you are limited with how many troops you can order per settlement per turn, and certain settlements only have a certain number of troops of each type that can be ordered, and must replenish from the local "pool" of troops available - representative of the fact that if you recruited a few hundred knights from a particular region, you'll have to wait for either more nobles to come of age to join the military or for more peasants or middle-class citizens to be levied/recruited for combat.

You Require More Vespene Gas / int_c69c8ce9	comment	Warlords Battlecry features four different kinds of resources (Gold, Metal, Stone, and Crystal), with each race needing different proportions of each (to the extent that some races had little use for one of the resources), making all four Gold, Lumber, and Useless, depending on which race you play as. For example, the elven races tend to use a lot of crystal, while more barbaric races tend to use a lot of stone, and the civilized races use a lot of gold. Resources are also produced somewhat differently than in most other games: your hero (and some units) can convert resource mines to your control, which then give you a steady stream of resources. This stream can be increased with some upgrades or by loading workers into the mines, and mines can (but rarely do, unless you're fighting against the Swarm) run out of resources, after which they will trickle resources at a greatly reduced rate. WBC also has population; each building you own increases your population limit (most buildings by 2, though some races have buildings which do nothing but increase it by 3, like the Orcish hovel and the Dark Dwarf supply depot), plus 5 for each level of your Keep, plus some more depending on your hero's stats.

It is continuously generated by collector and reactor buildings and is spent on constructing more units and powering their weapons. If your energy output exceeds your input, these functions slow down proportionately, which can be disastrous if your weapons shut down in the middle of a battle. Creeper World 2 and 3 both also have Ore, which functions like Lumber. It is collected from ore deposits on the map and is only used to make Anti-Creeper. In Creeper World 2, ore deposits are finite and can run out, in 3 they are unlimited. Creeper World 4 replaces Ore with three different secondary resources (Redon, Greenar, and Bluite) which are each collected in different ways and are needed for a handful of special buildings and ammunition.

Carbon is needed for base construction and a fair number of units, Food is needed for infantry and workers, Ore Crystals are needed for defensive structures and Nova Crystals are needed for Heavy Weapons, ships, aircraft and Jedi. All of these can be harvested by the same unit, and there are various ways to collect these materials (Ergo, to collect food, you can kill wildlife, fish, etc). There is also a trade system in the form of the Starport, which allows you to convert surplus resources into nova crystals, then turn those crystals back into other resources - a useful option when the various forces have polished off the last ore stockpile on the map, but you want to expand into a new area anyway. Galactic Battlegrounds doesn't just use the Age of Empires engine - gameplay-wise, it is Age of Empires; graphics are different and missions are obviously different as well, but the gameplay is essentially the same, with the only difference being that the Star Wars game has more ranged weapons and flying units for obvious reasons. Because of all this, resources in the game work almost exactly as those in Age of Empires.

You Require More Vespene Gas / int_ccc74c7e	comment	Sacrifice, being half RTS and half RPG, had only two resources; Souls and Mana, though it's hard to tell which resource equates to which type. Mana is generated constantly from areas called "mana fountains"; placing a Manalith on that fountain allows you to draw upon that mana from a distance, so the more Manaliths you have, the faster your mana gauge fills. Souls, on the other hand, are limited- there's only a select amount on each stage, so the whole point of the game is to try and kill off your opponent's creatures (or the various creeps) and sacrifice their souls in order to use said souls to conjure your own creatures. Mana would be Power, and Souls would be population. Mana was produced by buildings, or by simply standing next to mana fountains, but required you to be near Manahoars to draw if you were elsewhere. It was used to power everything spell-wise. Souls were very interesting, however, in that they created a fluctuating Arbitrary Headcount Limit that the players fought over.

You Require More Vespene Gas / int_ccffdd1f	comment	Dominions 3 has a variety of these. Units require Gold and Resources (the former drawn from the national pool, stored, and permanently spent, the latter province-specific, unstorable, and renewing every turn), thus differentiating between cheap but slow-accumulating (low-gold, high-resource) and expensive-but-quick (high-gold, low-resource) units. In addition, magic requires a combination of gems of 8 different types. Beyond that, there's population, which affects gold and resources, and magic sites, which affect magic gems. A somewhat unique kind of resource are blood slaves, used in the Blood school of spells (concerned with summoning demons and such like). Unlike regular gems, which are limited in income due to your ability to find and defend magical sites of their type, blood slaves can be hunted from the province population by any commander capable of blood magic. The only cost to this is a slight decrease in population and an increase in unrest (which can be offset by lowering taxes). This means that a blood nation can essentially convert gold into magical power, which is completely impossible for any other school of magic. In compensation, blood spells are much more expensive, gem-wise, than regular magic. However, since a late game nation can produce literally hundreds of slaves per turn, ridiculously large armies of demons are commonplace in the endgame, often to the point of the player dispensing with regular troops altogether.

Food is primarily a "Gold" resource, paying for all your standard units and Age advances, but in earlier games also pay for their research upgrades. Wood and Gold (coin in Age of Empires III) pay for "archaic" and "advanced" units respectively, siege units, and most upgrades. Stone features only in the first two games (before returning in Age of Empires IV) and is mostly used for defensive buildings and their upgrades. Each of these things are harvested from various exhaustible resources around the map, though Food can be harvested from rebuildable Farms, and AoE3 made Farms and Plantations/Estates a slow but infinite source of Food and Coin, respectively. Population is also in effect, being increased by building houses, though some nations have their population cap full to begin with as a perk. Age of Mythology ditches Stone, but adds Favor, used for mythological units and technologies. In general, Microsoft-published RTS's tend to follow a pattern: Food from farms and fishing boats, wood from trees, gold/wealth from mines and caravans, and stone/metal from mines. Also a population cap that is boosted by constructing houses.

Energy Credits and Minerals both act as Gold, with ECs spent on upkeep and used as money for the market, and Minerals used to make buildings. Minerals are also refined into Alloys and Consumer Goods; Alloys are militarized Gold (used to build warships) and CGs are Power (consumed by population and advanced jobs, but not spent to build anything). Food is a Power resource that feeds population (Pops), and pops are a Population type resource, determining how many jobs you can work (and thus how fast you can gather other resources). Unity acts as early-game Power and late-game Wood (consumed to provide various bonuses, and to build late-game Megastructures), and Science is Power (used over time to research technologies, although most early-game Science is harvested directly from the map). Influence is a Wood resource used in expansion and diplomacy. The seven Strategic Resources each act as either Wood or Uselessium, to build advanced ship components, advanced buildings, or nothing really. Naval Capacity and Administrative Capacity are Population type resources, however they are soft caps rather than hard caps as exceeding them applies increased costs and upkeep but do not hard limit your expansion. And on top of all this, all of the Wood- and Gold-type resources are also Power, as all resources are produced and consumed over time and a sustained deficit in one resource can lead to steep penalties across other resources or across your entire empire.

Gold-pressed latinum, also introduced in the sequel, is harvested and used similarly to dilithium and is used to buy research upgrades or to trade for metal or dilithium. Finally, officers are the population cap limiting the total number of ships and stations you can build. In Armada, you can build expansions to increase your officer count while Armada 2 has a hard limit. Species 8472 in the sequel use their own unique resource called bio-mass which is transmuted from all the other resources.
