It's time to consider adding new strategic resources and map rework?

[Jochen_Mongolia]

I list here some ideas to add as new strategic resources to HoI4:

1. National food reserve (Grain, Cattle, Fishery etc)
2. Grain (Agriculture development and construction of grain silos)
3. Land fertility map (Why controlling Ukraine is strategically important?)
4. Gold as mining resources and as national reserve
5. Horse and Camel as resources for both army and food reserve

Also the railway and autoroutes+bridges are really need to be applied to this game.

May the PDX devs consider these lists! Thanks

Food played a huuuuge part so probably yeah. Might be too late to introduce such a radical change though, so I can't see it. Hoi5 maybe? But seeing how popular "sandbox ww2" is I highly doubt it.

That is for Vic3, imho.

Paradox are extremely reluctant to add food as a resource as the only way you can use it is to starve your people which is one of the war crimes they are trying not to include in the game. There are some references to it (India's famine if you don't take certain NFs) but in general it's avoided.

Gold (and money in general) might be added at some point but factory trading gets 80% of the cases

Horses are generally available & having camels by owning certain states seems sufficient.

But I don't wanna play Vic3...

This would just add more tediousness to the game and they'd have to drastically rebalance the game around these mechanics so that the current state of the game isn't changed.
