oil
We just need to tweak oil consumption/production as to make it more scarce... I think having it work in a flat rate hurts oilers, because whenever oil is high people just make 300 rigs and forget about it.
We need to change the oil production formula, so people can't just build a few rigs and move on.... maybe make it so initially (recently build Oil Rigs) only produce 0.5 barrels a turn or make Oil refineries to go on hand with the production...
Lets say a Rig will produce 0.5 Barrels in a flat rate, and a Refinery can convert 1 Raw Barrel of Oil into 4 Barrels of Fuel.
This would be a major change as building rigs wouldn't be enough and would add a lot more complexity to the oiler strat (denying the Oil is expensive = Build your own rigs strategy).
We could also make it so Oil Rigs can't be turned to unused acres :P or something like that.
