Resources | Basic Information Company of Heroes 2 Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Company of Heroes 2 is, obviously, a real time strategy. You gain resources that you use up to build production buildings, where you create your units, which you then lead to the battlefield. The gameplay is fast-paced and you will very often have to control military actions in various parts of the map simultaneously.
There are four main resource types in Company of Heroes 2, which you use to develop your base and create new units:
 | Manpower- the basic, and the most important resource in the game. It is used for the production of units, construction of buildings and global upgrades. It is delivered directly to the base so, it is the only resource whose supply is guaranteed. The manpower grow rate depends on the current size of your army. With sizeable forces , the rate is considerably lower and, with small ones, proportionately higher. |
 | Munitions - used to employ abilities (e.g. throwing grenades) and to upgrade companies. It is supplied by the seized territories and depots. |
 | Fuel - fuel is the key factor for how fast you will be able to develop your armies to formidable units. Fuel is used to construct buildings (and also for development of battle phases in the case of Germans). It is delivered from the seized territories and fuel depots. Cutting the enemy off the supplies of this liquid gold, will mean victory in the majority of cases. |
 | Unit Count - the unit count is not a resource as such. Each unit in the battlefield consumes a given amounts of the unit count points. Once your army is big enough to reach the limit, you will no longer be able to produce new units. Until the existing ones lay down their lives for the motherland, at least. |
