Resource production

All provinces produce manpower and money, but only some provinces produce one of the five main resources. Those provinces are marked on the map with the according resource icon. Urban provinces produce higher resource amounts than rural provinces, indicated by their double resource icon on the map.

At the top of the screen the resource bar shows how many resources you currently have in store. For more details on your daily resource production and consumption rates you can tap on the resource bar on mobile or hover over the resource bar on desktop.

A province’s resource production rate is influenced by its morale as well as the level of constructed Industry buildings.

After units are produced they still require certain resources as upkeep. Thus, the more units you produce, the higher your resource consumption will be.
