What kind of resource will be in Generals 2

[Col.Black_Jarmen]

Is it going to be just like Generals and ZH which is lifting a box of "container" or there will be new resources like oil, gas, minerals, steel, and gold:)

I would like to see implementation of both.

And a morale counter. If you have more casualties your supply ratio is lowered, collateral damage and civilian casualties further hamper your resources.

Power, experience, upgrade crates and time were also resources in the previous game.
Since it's cnc game, the only resource you use to build your regular units will probably just be supplies/ money.

I liked the supplies thing. Just need some realistic explanation to why it's there.
I don't want nature materials as resource. That is ordinary for me.

[Col.Black_Jarmen]

Yes yes I mean supplies

But that's what make Generals real thing, well the supply container or box is also real, but it's kind a weird, and also if those natural resources is used as the main resources or supply, then we know what were fighting for

I highly doubt it's going to be detailed. EA make games for the sheep, it would be nice if there was more depth and strategy but I expect plain old boxes and unit spam.

Maybe, but still, i'd stick to supplies/money.
If the resources will be natural like other strategy games, then we will have various things to collect. I don't like that. I like that you have only one resource, so you don't rant, when for instance, you have 500 steel but insufficient lead. One type of supply is fine.

Supplies. That was a good general purpose resource. I always figured they contained all the rations, construction materials, vehicle components, ammunition and infantry gear. Once at the supply center/stash they were redistributed to the relevent production facilities.

As for how the supplies arrived on the battlefield in the first place? Either civilian pre-war stock piles or the previous occupying armies own depots and warehouses. Supplies generated from Drop Zones, Black Markets and Hackers are self-explanatory.
