Dear Gamers,
We’re excited to share more about how climates will affect resource availability in Trade Conquest. Our game offers a dynamic approach to resource distribution, where provinces will be randomly assigned up to 12 different resources, depending on the climate. Although a few exceptions may allow some preset resources in unexpected climates, most provinces will follow the guidelines below—so be sure to plan accordingly as you expand!
Additionally, keep in mind that the further you build from your capital, the higher your transportation costs will be. Every playthrough brings unique challenges as you won’t know exactly what to expect with each new game.
Here’s a breakdown of where you can expect to find resources based on the climate:
