** The game is given strategic depth by its selection of resources. Do you use rare and valuable Uranium for power generation, or nuclear bombs? Or that nifty depleted uranium armor for vehicles? Hell, one Stockpile unit of the stuff sells for a million Gold, so it can be used as a trade good. We have a ton of Food and Iron, but little Oil. Do we build ''a'' tank, or ''an'' aircraft? Or would it be better to turn that oil into [[FantasticPlastic body-armor made from an advanced polymer?]] Exotic Biochemicals are needed for both SuperSoldiers and [[BeastOfBattle Battle Beasts]]. You can research one or the other, but not both, and you won't be able to research Medkits for your baseline troopers if you do. Corundum is needed for [[RangedEnergyWeapon laser guns]] and [[InvisibilityCloak cloaking devices]], and is also a valuable trade good.

** There are no resources in the game. Units and buildings can be built for free making time the only resource. Or there is no way to produce anything and you have to work with the stuff you are given at the beginning of each mission and what you lack must be acquired by completing side missions (ie: rescuing prisoners to gain more soldiers).
