Metal & Oil

Resources are very important in War Commander and is the life blood of the player. Metal and Oil are required to build and upgrade Barricades, Buildings and Turrets,  produce and upgrade Units and to repair anything damaged. Thorium is required only in the late stages of upgrades.

The collection of Resources is one way for a player to gain Experience Point needed for Level advancement.

Obtaining Resources
Resources can be obtained by four methods:
 * Oil Pumps & Metal Factory - Done by the building of Oil Pumps and Metal Factories on Players Base.
 * Deposits - Done by Capturing a Deposit from either a Rogue Faction or another player.
 * Attacking Rogue Faction Bases - Done by destroying Storages, Pumps, Factories and the Command Center.
 * Attacking Enemy Bases - Done by destroying Storage's, Pumps, Factories and Command Centers

Storing Resources
Once obtained each Resource is kept in its own Storage on the players base until needed. The three storage buildings are: Beware! Enemy Players may steal resources by attacking and destroying these storage's so take care to protect them with Base Defenses.
 * Metal Storage
 * Oil Storage 
 * Thorium Vault

Fun Facts

 * Very little resources can be obtained by destroying Metal Factories & Oil Pumps.  A majority is kept in the storages and about a third is housed in the Command Center.
 * Resources obtained from Deposits do not generate Experience Points.
 * Metal Factories and Oil Pumps can use a lot of power but only when generating. Therefor if power is an issue they can be left full and drawing no power.
