Rare Resources

[Andrezj Kolarov]

So this idea is kinda influenced by rare resources in the RTS video game "Rise of Nations". Basically rare resources wouldn't actually have quantities like the standard resources in P&W do, instead they would be static bonuses (like resources in (That terrible game that is totally irrelevant and I shouldn't be bringing it up anyways)), except that rare resources wouldn't be permanent; every turn their would be a random chance your nation finds a rare resource. If you find one, it would last say 5 days until it is "depleted" and disappears, during those 5 days your nation gets the bonus associated with that resource. Rare resources would not be trade-able. Here's some ideas:

 

Diamonds: Increases your gross income.

Gold: Increases your gross income.

Silver: Increases your gross income.

Platinum: Slightly increases gross income. Slightly reduces cost of Tanks.

Titanium: Reduces Tank and Ship casualties in war. Slightly reduces Steel cost of Ships and Tanks.

Saltpeter: Increases the productivity of Munitions Factories (without increasing the amount of Lead used).

Sulfur: Increases the productivity of Munitions Factories (without increasing the amount of Lead used).

Sweet Oil: Increases the productivity of Oil Refineries (without increasing the amount of Oil used).

Chromite: Increases the productivity of Steel Mills (without increasing the amount of Iron used).

Marble: Decreases cost of Infrastructure.

Limestone: Decreases cost of Infrastructure.

Plutonium: Increase the productivity of Uranium Mines.

Whales: Increases food production.

Phosphate: Increases food production.
