Resource Management

excellent questions!

If i remember correctly
Each race will use 2 resources, 1 primary 1 secondary.

dont remember how many in total, but all races will use a common one, so there will be something to fight over

As Multianna said, each race will have a primary and a secondary resource. And your secondary resource is another race's primary (that would mean 3 total right?). This ensures competition for resources. There is also money which can be used to purchase resources on the market I believe. And then you have antimatter which is basically your ship's power but I wouldn't count that as a resource because your ships generate this on their own over time.

First row: population and money
second row: research points and a resource
third row: 2 resources

i guess 3 is right,if you dont count the research as one

metal, crystal and...
well I dont know the last one. but I know the advent's primary is crystal so some basic assumptions can be placed off that.

I am sure of one. Dont know the name, but its going to be that element that the Advent start running out of.

and you can use credits from trading also

money crystal and metal? is taht it?
sounds about right to me...
anyway the advent use crystals emp. (or diamonds, or w/e)

I think its a metal. Since it clearly stated that the metal in their ship grealty increases their powers but is weak. So thats why the use shields.

no, I'm absolutely and completely (sorta) certain that they use crystal. I think the idea is that the crystal gives them nice shiny powers, but is defensively weak.

Well, since your sorta sure i guess i will have to just go a long with it.

I think it works like this. with primaries named first
Vasari:Metal, Crystal
TEC:Money, Metal
Advent:Crystal, Money

now, thats IF i'm right about money, and If I do NOT happen to be right (high probability) I at least know that the TEC use metal and the Advent use crystal.

Okay okay... for now it will sufice.
