Resource

Resource is a common name for all basic and magical resources. Basic resources include wood, ore and gold; while magic resources include mercury, sulfur, crystal and gems. Wood and ore are required to build town structures, along with gold. Wood is also needed to build boats. Magical resources may also be required for buildings, and they are also needed to hire some of the 7th level creatures. Gold is basically needed for everything from hiring heroes and troops to constructing buildings and ships. Additionally, some Adventure Map locations (e.g. School of War) require Gold in exchange for their services.

Resources are typically received from mines, gathered from loose resource piles on the Adventure map and by visiting certain locations like windmills. A Freelancer's Guild allows a hero to trade creatures for resources and Artifact Merchants allow heroes to exchange artifacts for resources and resources for artifacts. Additionally, resources can be given/received from other players through Marketplace.
