Game Resources

Resources are essential currencies used to train Units and upgrade your bases, including your Headquarters and various specialized facilities.

World War Online has five different resources: - WWO-Influence (Premium Currency) - Money - Iron - Food - Brick

Money

Money is a resource primarily used for training Air units. It's generated from dedicated Money Resource Bases.

Money is used for: - Training all Air category units (UH-60 Black Hawk, MQ-9 Reaper, Chengdu J7, Lynx) - Supporting base construction and maintenance - Trading with other players

Money Resource Bases can be constructed to increase your production rate. As your Money Resource Bases level up, they will produce more Money per hour.

Iron

Iron is a resource that is generated in your Headquarters and specialized Iron Resource Bases. The amount of Iron you currently have available is displayed at the top of the screen.

Iron is primarily used for: - Training Armored units (BMD-3 Bakhcha, M3A3 Bradley, Gepard, Dongfeng) - Training Sea units (Christy, Pomornik, Arleigh Burke, Akula II) - Upgrading your Headquarters Base

The higher the level of your Headquarters Base, the higher the amount of Iron you generate.

Food

Food is an essential resource needed to train your Infantry units. It's produced by specialized Food Resource Bases.

Food is primarily used for: - Training all Infantry category units (Soldier, Bazooka, Stinger, LG1) - Supporting base operations

Food Resource Bases can be constructed using WWO-Influence and upgraded to increase their production rate. Strategic placement of Food Resource Bases helps ensure efficient military operations.

Brick

Brick is a construction material resource used for creating and upgrading bases. It's produced by dedicated Brick Resource Bases.

Brick is used for: - Creating new bases - Upgrading all base types (Headquarters, Resource Bases, Military Bases, and Mine Bases)

Brick Resource Bases can be constructed to ensure a steady supply of this construction material. As with other resource bases, the production rate increases as you upgrade the base level.

WWO-Influence (Premium)

WWO-Influence is the premium resource in World War Online, primarily gained through in-game purchases in the Store.

Players who end a Season in Gold and Silver Leagues for Squad Leaderboard also receive WWO-Influence that transfers to the next Season of World War Online.

WWO-Influence can be used to:

• Train Supreme Units and Special Forces units
• Train Normal Units (if a player is out of their primary resource)
• Accelerate units movement on the map
• Accelerate units training
• Accelerate Headquarters Base upgrades
• Purchase Special Deals in Store
• Construct new bases (Resource, Military, and Mine bases)

WWO-Influence can also be collected daily, for free, through Supply Crates.

Resource Stealing and Carrying Capacity

When you successfully attack enemy bases, you can steal their resources. The amount you can carry is now directly tied to your unit composition:

• Carrying Capacity: Each unit can carry resources equal to 5% of its total health
• Strategic Unit Selection: Heavier units (like Dongfeng with 225 HP) can carry more resources (11.25 per unit) than lighter units (like Bazooka with 135 HP carrying 6.75 per unit)
• Supreme Unit Advantage: Supreme units have significantly higher carrying capacity - for example, an Abrams tank (4,000 HP) can carry 200 resources per unit
• Visual Indicator: The interface shows your unit carrying capacity versus available resources to help you plan raids
• Tactical Planning: Choose your attack force based on your objectives - use heavier units when raiding for resources

This mechanic encourages strategic unit selection based on whether you're attacking for destruction or resource acquisition.

Resource Management Tips

Effective resource management is crucial for success in World War Online:

1. Understand unit resource requirements - Different unit types require different resources. Plan your resource production based on your army composition strategy:
2. Infantry units require Food
3. Armored and Sea units require Iron
4. Air units require Money

5. Supreme units require WWO-Influence

6. Balance your base portfolio strategically - You have a maximum number of bases you can construct, so choose wisely based on your warfare strategy and current game phase:

7. Early game: Prioritize Brick production to rapidly build new bases and upgrade existing ones, establishing your economic foundation
8. Mid to late game: Shift focus to resource bases that support your preferred unit composition (Food for Infantry, Iron for Armored/Sea, Money for Air)

9. Geographic considerations: Balance your base types based on where you're conducting military operations and which territories you control

10. Use WWO-Influence wisely:

11. Train Supreme Units for maximum combat effectiveness
12. Build new bases strategically (remember the maximum base limit)
13. Accelerate unit movement during critical operations
14. Accelerate unit training when time is essential
15. Accelerate Headquarters Base upgrades for long-term advantages

16. Purchase Special Deals in Store for value

17. Prioritize critical resources - Focus on resources that align with your strategy (e.g., Food for infantry-focused armies, Iron for armored/sea units, Money for air units).

18. Protect your resource bases - Station units to defend valuable resource production facilities from enemy raids.

19. Upgrade strategically - Invest in upgrading bases that produce resources you use most frequently.

20. Maintain reserves - Keep a buffer of resources to respond to unexpected opportunities or threats.

21. Use Brick efficiently - Brick is essential for base creation and upgrades. In the early game, Brick production is particularly valuable as it enables rapid expansion of your infrastructure.

22. Optimize raiding forces - Select units with higher health when your primary goal is resource stealing rather than just destruction.

23. Maximize WWO-Influence value - Use premium currency strategically for critical advantages like Supreme Units, base construction, or time acceleration during important battles.

24. Adapt your economy to your strategy - Your base composition should reflect your military doctrine. A balanced approach works for versatile play, while specialized economies support focused strategies.
