Russia + Fascism=unstoppable

[migkillertwo]

So we know that the quantity of strategic resources for Russia is doubled thanks to "Siberian Riches". But the Fascism branch also doubles strategic resources. This means that Russia could, possibly, have THREE TIMES AS MANY strategic resources as the base level allows them to.

God help you if you anger mother Russia.

Since Uranium is the only late game resource that Facism will affect, I don't see this playin much of a role at all.

I guess if you wanted to nuke every city on the map in one turn, then Russia is probably ur girl though.

There's also giant death robots. I'm kind of hoping if you build more than 10 GDRs at the same time they form a collective and turn against everyone!

For some reason I was thinking it was said somewhere that you're only allowed one.

You mean assimilate everyone...or were you thinking Terminator, not Borg?

And if the nazi communists attack you it will be like a McBain movie...

I don't think it'll end up being quite so one sided as them being unstoppable/having essentially 3x your units, its sounded to me as though its more like their limitations will be due to maintanence rather than resource requirement.

Its double oil x facism for Arabia that is the one that could REALLY be interseting late on, but then so many things require oil. For other civs it might end up being Navy takes up all their oil and they cant have Tanks or an air force, but Arabia can happily have them all.

I AGREE. Its Arabia that the real concern should be over. Oil is a MUCH more practical resource than uranium for the Russians. 3x Oil will actually be quite formadible. Also allowing the Arabs to trade excess oil for lots of cash to upgrade the units they do build. SOunds perfect really.

There's no limit other than resource and supposedly massive upkeep expense.

I keep seeing these balance concern threads....

...shoudn't we at least play the game, in a few days here, before we attempt to comment on balance issues?
