Thanks for the feedback, always welcome, and there are some good points I'd like to answer.
Fisrt, there are many resourse in game. And all of this you should be using. Try do not add more and more resourse, because it excessive load the game. Lategame more. When you try to understand what you have at late game you found bronse swords, wooden clubs, iron pikes. I think you can drop it to wooden/stone/bronse/iron weapon/supply. Until late game. when you should use tank, airplanes, guns. Also should be good to make obsolate not using resource.
Yes, IMO there are too many resources, but on the UI, not in the mod.
I'll try to hide obsolete resources, separate primary resources from products, and make also a separate screen for equipment.
Equipment could also be grouped by type on some screen.
But I do want to have many resources, there is a lot to do with the mod's framework, for example, what about plundering a barbarian camp near a lake and get a sword named Excalibur in the loot ? (well one sword in an unit equipped by thousands would/should not make a big difference in combat stats, but hey, that would give a nice background story to an unit... or the one killing it to stole the sword !)
Or some unique buildings (kind of world wonders) making unique equipment in a class (like a blacksmith producing Damascus Steel Swords, or a Masamune workshop...)
In later age, if we reintroduce some kind of corporation, we could use the mechanism to spread factories producing some modern unique equipment.
Luxury resource dont use now but I think that city population can use it to raise helth and efficient. Also some resource can be used to produce more science and culture. Forexample upper class can use 1 mercury to make 0.1 science.
Yes, but we need to define how we're going to represent population first.
Same thinks about buildings. It's too many buildings in early game. Ancient society produce all goods artisanal method. Without specifical buildings. When you open archery you should bulding specific building to start build archers. It's delayed game. It better that bronse weapons city start produce when Bronse working technology dicovered. Another sight that weapons can producing at building which already in-game: armory, workshop. tanks and airplane may be produce at factory.
City grow. You can't grow city without food producing buldings. My city has size 3. Demand food 22. I cant make so much food at city tiles. It's strange that peole cann't butchering cows without specifical building. My opinion that using all resource city population can without any buildings. But specifical building could increase efficiency. People can produse 1 food per 1 cow. Building can produce 2 food per 1 cow.
I agree, but it's already partially in the mod: each city has a "city center" building that represent the small artisans, that building produce a bit of everything (food from cows, sheep, grain, fish, etc... and some weapons from wood and stone), I need to add more (like bows and bronze weapons), and the specific buildings use/produce more resources or better equipment.
Housing. Now all housing (else mod buildings) not work.I think it pre-alpha versions and it should be release at future. I can build city at desert and it have same housing as city at river with aqueduct and neighborhood.
Yes, there will be a health mechanism for that.
Worker. Now not itresting build any improvements at tile without resource. 3 farm give me +3 food, granary with wheat give me +15 food.
True, but you may need that farm if we introduce rural population, an it may also be a prerequisite to resource spawning using project in cities.
Material. I have deficiency of material only at start of the game. When I have 3 or more cities I fogget about this resource. It may be when wood and stone is everywhere and builings that use it cheap and give 1 production.
That will have to be balanced, yes.
Units. Ranged unit is overpower now. Melee unit each attack use resource (personel, material equipment) but ranged unit dont use anything. Maybe ranged units use some supply each attack and cannot attack without supply. also melle units after mushketman also shoud use supply (niter) per attack.
That's an interesting point, I plan to add some specific optional equipment used like ammo in late game (ie torpedoes for attack aircraft for example), and representing the supply lines for arrows may be too much, but we could have ranged units using "materiel" for each attack to represent that.
