Hi all,
The development is still going on, and it's time for me to introduce a new gameplay concept of Z Collapse. This one is so important that it will define your whole strategy : the resources management !
As the zombie invasion is in full swing, human governements will have to fall back, shelter their population as much as possible, and hold firm while waiting better days. In this context, states strategical resources stocks will be primordial to ensure your population survival, building constructions, and armed forces upkeeping.
There are 5 strategical resources in Z Collapse :
-The Production : This is a generic resource that represents all materials and mechanic tools coming from the industrial world. This resources can be produced in dedicated factories. It is mainly used to build new structures, and producing new troops.
The daily production
-High Tech : Those are complexes industrial pieces, coming from material and crafting from different location in the world. they are essential in producing tanks and helicopters. As they can only be produced in a globalized-type of World, it's not anymore possible to create them when global trade is disturbed by a zombie invasion. Therefore, human nations will only rely on the initial existing stock of high tech pieces. If you are in shortage, maybe you can take some from your neighbours ? ...
-Oil : The black gold is of crucial as you can imagine. When you are in shortage, your motorized troops won't be able to move anymore, as your boarded units as well. Oil can also be used by your power plants to create energy. It can be produced by oil wells, and off-shore.
An Oil Well
-Coal and Uranium : Those two resources are extracted from mines. They can be used to produce electrical energy. This is very important as a good energy supply will allow your population to keep a relatively normal activity, and keep them under your control. If your population lacks energy, they will panic and progressively join bandits camps.

All those resources can't be stacked as will. They need to be stored somewhere. Cities and refugees camps can have some, but the better option is to build some dedicated storages. It's useless to say that they will need to be watch with strong military forces, as they will attract greeds from everywhere...
It's also possible to loot your neighbours, or even wait for them to collapse, and take all what remains. It's all yours.
