Lack of resources late game

[Screaming Bobcat]

Hello!
Great game so far! I noticed someone mention a lack of oil and aluminum late game which effectively prevents any vehicles from being made or used and there being no aluminum mines or oil fields to get raw resources from.
I was wondering if this has been addressed at all as i did not see an answer when it was asked the first time around.

Thanks! And I look forward to seeing this game develop!! Been waiting for something like it for a long time!

I just buy it if I don't have it or take over other nations for their resources

I've only ever had a problem with ammo mid game but that usually comes down to my fault

In late game you may use "import resources" as diplomacy action. Just find out which country still has iron mine, for example, and spam them, since they provide you with infinite ore.

The resource management for this game seems... excessive.
I can already see how time consuming and frustrating it will be throughout the stages of the game itself and each playthrough. Simple is best, no need to overcomplicate things.

Excessive for whom? I hope the Devs shall not hear you, since that is request for casual gameplay. Just curios why don't you not playing idk Call of Duty for example. No resourses, straight and easy.
But in this game I am eager to see the most complicated logistics system, production lines, diplomacy and so on. This game just need a good interface to deal with these issues.

As other have pointed out, the best workaround is to rely on the market.

But that is only valid if you agree to get pushed by the game to have good relation with almost all factions (if you only have trade agreement with a couple countries you are depent on luck to get anything you need)
To be noted as well that map is randomized so there might be only on single copper mine in the all island and that is placed at the very opposite side from you in a country that hates you.... once you only have 2 large countries and the other one ownes the only copper/gold mine, you are f...ed.

I might be wrong but I also think the AI cheats by getting infinite resources/money and produces equipment instantly (no need for research and production time) so those limitations are only imposed on the player

I fully support. There are plenty of other games for casual gamers.

I never get to mid/late game as rebels. I`ve conquered entire island due to rebels spawning in which I can get in my rebel-armies and just throw m at the A.I., even auto-resolve. No diplomatic/militaristic cooperation or parley possible when at war; Never had even the possibility for armistice. All on hardest difficulty* Love the game btw, keep m updates coming:)

That sounds like a skill problem.

No , there can be options with differing difficulties , it does not affect you choice of play and gives others what they want. opposing that only makes one a d!ck

the only thing you support is being a gatekeeper for no reason when having multiple difficulty levels or options of play style does not affect you.

If you're playing chess, and someone complains that it should be more like checkers then it's not gatekeeping. Go play checkers

This game excels for the game combat. But it's resource overabundance is atrocious. It's honestly not fun.
