Needs more Resources

[Dark Lord Baloch]

I'm sorry to big up old news but I have recently come back to this site, and I have found the new interface has missing resources. I feel that it was good to keep those resources in the game. For example. If you are going to build an army then you would need the proper materials Example: Wood makes wood castles for defense. Wood poles produce spears. I just feel that this makes the game more realistic. To build an army or castle out of gold alone almost makes it look like you are just hiring labor, or mercenaries. I know that there was going to be a great reduction of micro management. But for a person like me. I like the strategy of preparing my attacks such as building equipment, and arms. Stockpile, and food storage such as granaries. I just think that this makes the game more realtime. I think that it makes you consider a true essense of ruling a nation to keep tabs on the affairs of production. To be a king one must know how to manage his resources wisely. without weapons you have no army. without arrows your men can't defend a castle. Any feed back would be nice.

Dont worry there will be more resources, they are just local. We decided that the player has to care globally only about 3 resources. But locally there are much more. This allows to specialise realms and have a greater diversity. Also as mentioned somewhere else, there will be a techtree...

Oh ok that would be good frank. I can understand that there is a big thing to reduce micromanagement (sorry to complain I like in part to build, and stockpile things, and plan things out) I find that to be good. I can't wait till the game releases.

a techtree, nice...I love that. Is there a tech tree for troops as well as buildings, like to your troops get upgraded after a time, better armor, better look?

Not that but better troops become available when you have build specific buildings.

I think it will be like AOE, AOK, and, and - you name it !

i'm really "looking forward to" researching myself to death !

[Frujin]

Nono ... it is not AOK or something. There is no anyhthing like "tech" or "research" ... nothing like that.

Maybe techtree is not the right word...let's better say dependencies between buildings and units.
