What Resources/Goods are you buying for Strategic Stockpile?

Hootieleece · Jul 2, 2012

I figured out that the Strategic Stockpile slider near top of Budget page needs to be all the way to right when at war.How come when my peacetime 50% allows me to run a surplus. When I max it out I always run in the red and run out of money, because it seems to spend more than twice the Amount of money needed for 50%. I have maxed taxes and tariffs to no avail to stop the bleeding.What am I doing wrong?

Because AI countries seem to always have max org. and morale.

When you're at war, you consume twice as many supplies, so moving it from 50% to 100% quadruples your expenditures.

Didn't realize you used TWICE as many supplies as Peacetime. So during peace I should stockpile things like, Guns, ammo,canned food etc. So to delay the effects a bit I should stockpile 100-1000 of each item before War. Less early in game more later.(I noticed sliders top out at 2000)
