I can see why having so many resources to manage would add some more depth into the game however I don’t think that feature fits. The game has you serving as an admiral so the only real control you have is over the navy, then yes, you do have some influence in politics and other military operations. Managing trade and resources seems more 4x strategy than limited like this game. Now having trade routes to protect because your government chooses to expand or trade I see as a good mechanic.
