Resources and Production

Greetings, leaders! Today's development diary delves into the foundation of any thriving Civilization: its resources. In Age of History 3, you'll have a diverse selection of 49 unique resources at your disposal, ranging from the staples of life like grain and rice to the luxuries of porcelain and glass.

[h3]A World of Potential[/h3]



Each province within your realm holds the potential to produce a single, unique resource.



This resource will be the lifeblood of your economy, providing a steady stream of income based on two key factors:

Base Price Value: This inherent worth of the resource sets the baseline for its potential income.



[h3]Production Efficiency[/h3]
This variable represents the effectiveness of a province in extracting or cultivating its designated resource. Higher efficiency translates to greater income.



[h3]Investing in Your Land[/h3]
The good news? You don't have to settle for the status quo. Investing in a province's economy allows you to boost its production efficiency, maximizing your resource output. Think of it as nurturing the land and optimizing its productivity.



[h3]Unlocking Specialized Potential[/h3]
Technology is not just about shiny new weapons or advancements in warfare. Research unlocks unique buildings specific to each resource.



For instance, wool production flourishes with a dedicated sheep farm, while grain benefits from a well-maintained grain farm. Cattle ranchers and iron mines further enhance resource extraction in their respective provinces.



[h3]The Power of Plenty[/h3]
Domination isn't just about military might. Becoming the leading producer of a specific resource grants your Civilization a powerful, unique bonus. This can significantly enhance your economic, military, or diplomatic standing. The race to become a resource titan is an ongoing one.



Remember, a Civilization's true strength lies in its ability to harness the potential of its land and its people.

Shaping Your Legacy - The Council and Advisors

Greetings, rulers! Today's dev diary sheds light on two crucial pillars of your Civilization's success: The Council and your esteemed Advisors.

[h3]The Guiding Hand:[/h3]
The Council serves as your inner circle, a group of trusted individuals offering counsel and shaping your Civilization's trajectory.
Led by the Ruler (King in monarchies, elected official in republics), the Council's composition reflects your government type. Ruler receives up to four random, small bonuses that can bolster your leadership.



[h3]Specialized Expertise[/h3]
Beyond the Council's general wisdom, you can bolster your Civilization's strength by hiring specialized Advisors. Each advisor represents a critical domain:

[h3]Administrative Advisor[/h3]
This seasoned bureaucrat offers bonuses to streamline your realm's operation. Expect reductions in province maintenance costs, administrative building construction, construction time, and even religious conversion costs.



[h3]Economic Advisor[/h3]
With a keen eye for profit, this advisor unlocks benefits for your economic engine. You'll see lower costs for province investment and economic buildings, increased production efficiency, plus a reduction in core creation costs and more.



[h3]Innovation Advisor[/h3]
This visionary thinker expedites your technological advancement. They might accelerate research or cement your civilization's legacy with unique bonuses.



[h3]Military Advisor[/h3]
A seasoned strategist, this advisor provides tactical advantages to your armed forces. Expect bonuses for your generals (attack/defense), reduced army maintenance costs, higher siege effectiveness, or even an increase in your Civilization 's overall manpower and many more!




[h3]Investing in Greatness[/h3]
Hiring advisors requires both gold and civilization legacy. These permanent acquisitions become invaluable assets, shaping your Civilization 's path.

[h3]Sharpening the Edge[/h3]
But the story doesn't end there. As your civilization unlocks new legacies or technologies, you can further enhance your advisors' skills. By increasing their skill level, all existing bonuses receive a +50% boost.

[h3]A Symphony of Expertise[/h3]
The Council and Advisors work in tandem. The Council provides a foundation of leadership, while advisors offer specialized expertise to truly propel your Civilization to greatness.



I eagerly await your feedback! Let me know your thoughts on the Council and Advisors, and how they might shape your strategies in the game.
