Movement for the removal of the resource system

[Zimmerwald]

landlocked nations?

I would like salt added as a resource.

[Myroria]

They have rivers still.

[Bustos]

If we get rid of water, we must get rid of food.  The assumption behind getting rid of water is that it's a resource that everybody has.  Well, it isn't.  The comparison is made to air, but everybody has air; nowhere on a sufficiently large planet is there a lack of atmosphere.  Water is scarce and discrete, and should be counted.

Besides, that eliminates the concept of "desert," and ignores the fact that many countries actually do import water.  It's perfectly fine with me if you don't want to include water as a resource; it's not manditory.  Only be prepared to trade for it.

And I agree with Prag about sugar, as I always have.

All true points.  Water should be kept.  Nevermind my previous thought.

So we changing this from its removal to its expansion?

[Zimmerwald]

apparantly.

In regards to Myroria's comments...

Rivers might be polluted.  Nations might not have the technology to distill the water out of seawater (you need plastic or glass, as well as some sort of fuel for your heat source)  I'm sure there are other examples that aren't coming to me...

Oh, and distillation needs to happen on a large scale, not the laboratory distilation that I was envisioning.  This means you would need suction pumps, which require electric power, steel for a pipeline, concrete to build the facility itself, and a distribution system.

[Daimiaen]

Move sugar out of grains....

Go for a vote on more or same resources....

If there is a consensus for more resources per nation add more resources to the list.....including salt....

If there is a consensus for the same resources remove water from the list......

does that cover it???

[Bustos]

It is reasonable to include salt as a resource if we are keeping water.

[Zimmerwald]

zinc and nickel should be added as resources as well, and we forgot a BIG one: natural rubber.

[Bustos]

Natural rubber as a raw resource?

Last I checked natural rubber comes from trees, aka lumber.

[Gulliver]

No, they are worlds apart! Lumber can come from just about any old tree. Rubber on the other hand specifically needs the rubber tree.

[Bustos]

Whoa, sorry.  Dont get your panties in a bunch there Pragmia.  I'll add it later on, but with the abundance of oil in Taijitu I doubt it'll make any difference.

Natural Rubber
Salt
Nickel
Zinc

Got it.  All common.

[Daimiaen]

Also Furs....as a rare....
being as there are hundreds of thousands of okapi and jaguar and ocelot and such in Daimiaena....

[Bustos]

Furs will be added as a rare under Other.

[Feniexia]

Yes. I´d say, 15 common ressources, and three rares....we need more rares. Besides, the colony rules are...um...crap. A colony should be treated as own nation in terms of the ressource system, although the obtaining of ressources might be very low on the beginning phases....

[Annabe]

I had considered that, but again, as many poeple are quick to remind anyone, this isnt earth.  If a bunch of nations want to repeatedly pick oil as their rare, then that means on Taijitu oil is more plentiful.


I am still waiting on a nation to pick cotton.     

I did the same as you did GC, I looked up various equatorial nations and made my selections from here.

I picked cotton...

[Ranholn]

rubber plants, but adding some more chemicals for pharmisuticals, and such. people keep saying they will make things if they use supliments but dont have anything to make them
