    Mastering Resource Management in Civilization VII

    Resource management is a crucial aspect of Civilization VII, as it directly impacts the growth and development of your civilization. This article provides an in-depth guide on how to increase and allocate resources effectively, ensuring sustainable growth and strategic advantage.

    Resource Types

    Civilization VII features various resource types, including Bonus Resources, City Resources, Empire Resources, and Factory Resources. Each type has specific uses and allocation requirements. Bonus Resources can be allocated to any town or city, while City Resources are limited to cities. Empire Resources benefit the entire civilization without needing allocation, and Factory Resources are exclusive to settlements with factories7.

    Strategies for Resource Allocation

    1. Settlement Placement: Establish settlements near resource nodes to automatically integrate these resources into your network. As your settlement expands, additional resources within its area of influence become accessible2.
    2. Trade Routes: Create trade routes with merchant units to access resources from other civilizations. This method allows you to tap into resources not available within your territory2.
    3. Resource Slot Management: Ensure that each settlement has the appropriate resource slots available. Resources can only be allocated if there are open slots, and some resources require specific conditions, like factories for Factory Resources4.

    Conclusion

    Effective resource management in Civilization VII requires understanding the different resource types and employing strategies to maximize their allocation. By doing so, players can enhance their civilization's growth and competitiveness.
