[PC] Vainglory of Nations

I like how all the cities have little gardens on the left and all the houses on the right. I am sure that it was how cities were back then. Neat and ordered.

Let's play the game further and note that ports don't have any fields at all.  I am sure that the people in ports ate only fish.

Huh.  Top hats look like a major resource.  There is so much about the period I don't understand.

I suspect that the problem with your understanding does not lie in the period, if you think "top hats look like a major resource."

I want to rape France with Prussians. Then play France and rape prussia. Then play America and cheat my way to world domination.

Remember to trade top hats for colonies.

My top hat can kick your top hat's ass.

It's clear enough if you look at the top bar.  All the major resources of the Victorian period are covered (from left to right):  upside-down twinkies; top hats; cow droppings; leg irons; armed wooden boxes; and soldiers subjects to Don't Ask Don't Tell.

I thought the far left one was two-by-fours, but your explanation is more plausible and fits better within the timeframe.

Anyone with any knowledge of the period would recognize the second icon (cash+playing pieces) as standing for "Monopoly games."  The "scramble for Scrabble" was yet to come, and only a few nations had the wherewithal to colonize territories where Monopoly plantations were likely to be successful (the Monopoly tree was notorious for needing just the right amount of rain).

Always the school teacher, never the pupil.

I think most resources are currently going into Rise of Prussia which will be released first.

I want this, but I don't want to get my hopes up. I'm worried it might be too bloated.

All those valuable hat resources.
