Resources

What are Resources?
Resources are materials or capabilities which are in limited supply. This includes both tangible items like Gold, Iron, Stone, as well as more intangible things like Deployment. The goal of a good Marauder Captain is to attain as much power and wealth as possible, and they will need as many resources as possible to do so.

Gems
Gems are precious stones that have been cut by some of the finest jewelers on the continent. They are difficult to obtain via normal play, and are most easily attained through The Black Market. Gems can be exchanged for a variety of special deals, bonuses and units that are otherwise unavailable.

Gold
Gold is a precious metal which serves as a universal currency and is highly desirable due to its value. It can be obtained from a number of sources, including Gold Mines, successful battles, and the Black Market.

Iron
Iron is a metal sought after for its use in machinery due to its hard and durable nature. Most units, vehicles and structures require Iron to be built or trained. It is most commonly attained from an Iron Mine on a Base featuring an Iron Patch.

Deployment
Deployment is a less tangible resource than the others. It represents the various logistic elements of maintaining a Marauder crew. Every unit, structure or personnel has some Deployment impact and this will automatically be updated on the creation, or loss of the object. Maximum deployment is tied to the number and types of Bases owned by the captain. Storage Tech increases Deployment.

Stone
Stone is a resource that is used to construct the many buildings a Marauder must erect in order to make best use of a Base. If it's a structure, then it likely contains some Stone. You can get Stone from Quarries placed on Stone Patches, in raids, or from the Black Market.
