Resource Bases
Resource Bases produce each type of resource in the game: Money, Iron, Food, and Brick. You can build up to 10 Resource bases per player, allowing you to specialize in the resources that support your strategic goals.
Resource Types
Resource Bases come in four varieties, each producing a different resource:
| Base Type | Resource Produced | Primary Use |
|---|---|---|
| Money Base | Money | Training Air units |
| Iron Base | Iron | Training Armored and Sea units |
| Food Base | Food | Training Infantry units |
| Brick Base | Brick | Constructing and upgrading all bases |

Strategic Considerations
Early Game Strategy
In the early game, prioritize Brick Resource Bases to rapidly build new bases and upgrade existing ones. This establishes your economic foundation and allows faster expansion.
Mid to Late Game Strategy
As you progress, shift focus to resource bases that support your preferred unit composition:
- Food Bases - If you rely on Infantry armies
- Iron Bases - If you prefer Armored or Sea units
- Money Bases - If you focus on Air power
