Resources (for construction/repair of buildings, recruitment of new units, hiring of mercenaries, and repair of units) will only be given when I want them to be. This is to ensure that the crisis remains challenging. If it's based exclusively on profit, Bavaria will an easy time of it, while Swabia will get wrecked. I don't want that to happen. It should be hard, and fair, for all.

In general, resources will be rare and mainly given out for significant achievements. Similarly, the situation will deteriorate for players who fail or get unlucky.

Interesting, but too slow and it won't let me do what I want. First, it would require that every player download and play the save every turn, which would take absolutely forever. Second, I may not want a person to be able to move anywhere they wish. I may want them to get ambushed along the way or get lost and move in the wrong direction. I can't do those things if the players are moving themselves.
