Luxury Resources
There are 15 Luxury Resources in the game which are also unlocked as you progress through
research eras. Luxury Resources are also accumulated in stocks and can be activated when you
reach a certain threshold (usually 20). When you activate the Resource Booster by clicking on its
symbol, you lose the activation quantity (usually 20 units of the Luxury Resource) and grant a
bonus to your empire for a limited time.
You can check the bonus effect by hovering your mouse cursor over each Luxury Resource.
Stockpiles
Stockpiles are one-shot consumables that you can build in your cities to transfer industry and
labor. Basically, instead of producing improvements or units, your city builds Stockpiles which are
accumulated at the empire level, allowing you to transfer the industrial advantage of this city to
other cities or your empire.
