Strategic Resource

Strategic Resources are one of the resources in Humankind.

Strategic resources are primarily for building certain Units and infrastructure.

• Not all the Units or Emblematic Units require certain Strategic Resource, some of them only require population, therefore much "cheaper".

These resources can be exploited by a City or an Outpost in the same Territory by building a Resource Extractor on the tile. In addition, any Strategics one brought from other Empires will provide the same bonus and effects.
