Underwater fortresses

[Squirrelloid]

I've been noticing my available resources are not increasing when i capture adjacent land provinces. Do underwater forts not harvest resources from those provinces?

(As if water nations weren't at enough of a resource disadvantage because their fortresses tend to have much weaker administration...).

Correct (and it goes the other way as well).

Yeah, well, that's rarely that much of a disadvantage. Home territories for land powers tend to have at least 3-4 land provinces adjacent to them, often high resource woods or mountains.

Whereas virtually every map gives a water nation a good chance of starting with only 2 adjacent water provinces - in addition to crappy administration values they can't even harvest resources from many surrounding provinces, and water provinces are at best mediocre in resources.

Yeah, that's just one of the issues concerning underwater life. In my Underwater Gameplay Enchantment Mod, I decreased the resource cost of numereous UW only equipment.

Once I find the intrest/time I'll update it with some common UW magical sites that give resources.

Is that Underwater Gameplay Enchantment... or Enhancement? (Very different things).

More seriously, the CBM people might want to look at doing something about this.

Also, more specifically, EA Atlantis's home fortress has a pathetic 20 administration and resource-intensive units (at least one of which is cap only) on top of the already abysmal resource problems facing water. Something clearly needs to be done here - because this really limits EA Atlantis's options. Possibly a special type of fortress for their home fortress with better administration would help, at least a little bit. It would make the likely 2 ocean province neighbors start at least *surviveable* with a strategy other than 'ignore everything that takes a lot of resources'.

We can't mod forts.

They could have their fort changed to something less thematic with better admin. Pros and cons.
