[unmerged(82794)]

How do increase energy, rare resources, metal, oil, suppy, money, and manpower without trading, or aquireing new provances??

I am deficent in all of the resources except manpower and i'm portugal. My plan is to take Braszil and Dutch provances in Pacific. Any help on that eather?

Energy, metal, rares and oil can only be increased through trading or conquest. Non-national provinces you capture will only give you about 50%(depending on difficulty level) of the original resources from that province but it will add up.

Supplies are made through the supply slider. You can always find a trade partner for supplies so producing more than you need and trading them is a good way to get the other resources you need.

You get money from your Consumer Goods slider. It must be set at a certain level to keep dissent from going up, DO NOT raise your CG slider to make more money, it is very inefficient. If you need money make extra supplies and trade them for money, US and USSR always have a lot of money and will trade for supplies at a good rate depending on your relations.

Manpower is very hard to increase. In normal HOI2-not Doomsday- you get 0 manpower from non-national provinces unless you have the manpower minister in office(if I find the name I will edit it in). During war times you only get manpower from provinces with a land connection to your capital.

I don't remember if anyone gave you the link to the HOI2 wiki in the Christmas lottery thread. If not it is here-

I haven't played EUIII but I have played EUII a bit. EU has a lot more to do, vassals, royal marriages etc. but this game is much more focused, the things you do are much deeper.

Check out this wiki page in particular-

You can cheat to get resources.
1) F12
2) event 1013

or there is a file called resources and u can modify there.

Man power can be SLIGHTLY increased from Agriculture research.

I forgot about those. There are four techs and each one increases MP by 5%. I think POR starts with the first one already researched.

Research, Assembly line Experimentation and the 2 previous techs needed to get it add 25% to your production of resources.
