1) Wood- Improves building time, and ship building.
2) Iron- Improves your units weapons attack points.
3) Copper- Improves your units armour and shield points.
4) Horses- Enables recruitment of cavalry units.
5) Rock- Improves building time of town defences and stone structures.

I really think it would make the game more interesting! :D Also, what resources and effects would you like to see? I like the idea of Rock as a resource in places like wales where it is abundent. My history is hazey, but i think in real life a lot of it was exported to england to build stuff. Anyway plz tell me what you think, I'm a really big fan of the economy side of the game ^^

P.S sorry if someone has all ready made a post about this!

Copper is a soft metal, and would be totally ineffective against steel or iron weapons.
