The new resource system is a simple and elegant solution to an old problem. Looking good =D

While I will end up cursing the inability to pile up strategic resources at some point and shout stuff at the screen like "tungsten is like phone minutes with no rollover, really?" I think this will work out very well. And I appreciate the ability to run the US without going nuts (just put me in, coach).
Your point on efficiency works out very well thinking about the USA, too. A Sherman tank isn't that great, huh? Would you feel the same way about 50,000 of them?
