Right, thank you! Got it and got it working but.... sat down to enjoy the game, started out nice, got some bases etc, built the right tracks.. had +50 income for both advanced cyborg and normal human resources but -10 for advanced alien which i was cool with because i know they are scarce and i would find some at some point.. anyway the minus 10 ends up making me have NO advanced resource so the tracks shut off.. no problem as I think i'll ask for some materials. I get the materials and tracks come back on.... but now I dont get any resource from advanced human and normal human mines?! All I have is the upkeep to run the tracks which means i'm at -50 for advanced and normal after being in the plus before the tracks went off? Aggh someone please help lol!

Thanks for the reply guys, Okim, when you say "Country" I guess you mean a number of actual earth countries grouped together right? Cuz like I say, even though I command the actual country of Spain, (and in game the actual country of Spain would be known as a "province" I guess?) I cannot get a base there, likewise Italy etc. Italy seems to come under the control of the Stuttgart base. So if I take over countries near spain, like portugal etc, do I then get a hub base for all these countries after I take over enough actual real world countries near each other?

Hi everyone. Ok, I just started playing this game and I am a little confused. When you take over a province with no base near it, you get no resource from it, even though there is a mine there correct? The only way to get a resource from a baseless province is build a track from your base to the mine. Therefore, is there any real need to take over the small provinces with no base, and indeed, why are there mines in these provinces in the first place, given that building a track costs more than what the mine would give you anyway? Am I overlooking something here? Do the small provinces become "countries" with a base after you take over enough surrounding territory for example? Like I have the Stuttgart base, but the "country" of Spain has no base, just a mine that gives me nothing. Eek confused.
