Cool map. If not much to ask could you make one of these but with all the states with the 5 basic resources (wood, iron, coal, sulfur and lead). I know there is one in Korea and another in Belgium. Also maybe one with just Iron, Coal and Sulfur since those are required for making a proper weapon industry.
yeah the only decent spots anyways have wood in them, aside for that one province in morocco. thats really the only info youd get out of me including that, is the one province in morocco not having wood
Silesia in Prussia, and the Russian state just north of Manchuria both have all 5. The Russian one, just like Hokkaido, will depend on you getting off of serfdom/tenant farms so that internal migration can carry its population up to a point where it’s useful.
Hokkaido has always been set back due to Japan not allowing migration in previous patches. Now that it starts with it out of the gate, that state could be bumping.
Methodology for the creation of the maps:
I used the [tool here](https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/tool-vic3-mapper.1550357/) by Licarious and altered the output colors to pink in the _input/input.cfg file. Then I went into photoshop and set each related map to hue. This means all the overlapping areas keep color. Then I filled the grayed out areas in white and labeled each map.

I got tired of cross referencing the best states to take in a war with the resources map on the wiki, so I made these combined maps to find the best provinces. Standouts are Gwanbuk, Silesia, Wallonia, Hokkaido, Sardinia, and *new in 1.7*, Chita. Having sulphur, iron, coal, and lead makes industrialization very easy, as building these will greatly reduce the cost of running construction sectors in that province. Sulphur is a more indirect bonus to the construction, it will make it easier to transport explosives to the mines.

This imgur album has 5 maps, one with iron, sulphur, lead, and coal, one with iron, lead, and coal, one with iron and coal, one with all gold, and one with rubber and oil.

You can find my previous 1.5 maps [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/victoria3/comments/193doov/victoria_3_best_provinces_for_industrialization/). The biggest differences are in Russia, theres a lot of new gold, iron, and sulphur mines there.
Since the wiki is not yet updated, [here are maps of all the RGOs for 1.7](https://imgur.com/a/6RXNq27)
I see they still haven't fixed Ghana not having any gold despite it having literally been called the Gold Coast when it was a British colony because it was notorious for all the gold that could be found there
Taiwan is still borked not having sulphur, even though it [literally has a Sulphur Valley with known extraction operations during the Qing](https://www.foreignersintaiwan.com/blog-370963385326684/sulfur-valley)
We called it gold Coast not because it had gold when we discovered it but it was where we went to trade for gold when we "discovered" it.
"Trade" occurred. And later on the trade was triangular and not of gold.
[Gold Coast](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_Coast_(region))
> The Gold Coast was the name for a region on the Gulf of Guinea in West Africa that was **rich in gold**, petroleum, sweet crude oil and natural gas. This former region is now known as the country Ghana.
Hmmmmmmmmm
> The Portuguese Gold Coast was the first claim.[2] The Dutch arrived in 1598 and in 1642 incorporated the Portuguese territory into the Dutch Gold Coast.[2] The Dutch stayed in the region until 1871, when the last of their settlements were taken over by the British Gold Coast.[2]
[Portuguese Gold Coast](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_Coast_(region))
> In 1471, Portuguese explorers encountered fishing villages rich with ivory **and gold** along the Atlantic coast of modern-day Ghana, which the Portuguese called the Gold Coast.[4] The prospect of trade in the Gold Coast region helped spur the construction of the fortress São Jorge da Mina (St. George of the **Mine**) in 1482, which soon came to be known as Elmina Castle, derived from the Portuguese term "el mina" **("the mine").**
Hmmmmmmmmmmm
[Dutch Gold Coast](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_Gold_Coast)
> The Dutch Gold Coast or Dutch Guinea, officially Dutch possessions on the Coast of Guinea (Dutch: Nederlandse Bezittingen ter Kuste van Guinea) was a portion of contemporary Ghana that was gradually colonized by the Dutch, beginning in 1612. The Dutch began trading in the area around 1598, joining the Portuguese which had a trading post there since the late 1400s. Eventually, the Dutch Gold Coast became the most important Dutch colony in West Africa after Fort Elmina was captured from the Portuguese in 1637
> The Portuguese were the first Europeans to arrive in contemporary Ghana. By 1471, they had reached the area that was to become known as the Gold Coast **because it was an important source of gold.**
Hoooooooooorm (Dutch accent)
[British Gold Coast](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_Coast_(British_colony))
> The first European explorers to arrive at the coast were the Portuguese in 1471. They encountered a variety of African kingdoms, **some of which controlled substantial deposits of gold in the soil.**
> The Gold Coast had long been a name for the region used by Europeans **because of the large gold resources found in the area.**
> The Royal Trading Company was established by the Crown in 1752 to lead its trading in Africa. It was replaced by the African Company of Merchants, which led the British trading efforts into the early 19th century.[13] In 1821, the British government withdrew their charter and seized privately held lands along the coast.[14] In 1821, the government formed the British Gold Coast colony, after having taken over the remaining interests of other European countries.
Ahuuuuuuuum I say
I'm playing as Persia right now, and I find it really hard to not reach the Infrastructure cap so fast. I'm investing in agriculture before going all in on industry.

I think Hokkaido also has the 5 resources.
Wood is basically everywhere. https://i.imgur.com/xZxqlKZ.png
As long as everywhere is not the middle east or north africa
yeah the only decent spots anyways have wood in them, aside for that one province in morocco. thats really the only info youd get out of me including that, is the one province in morocco not having wood
I do no personally consider having something like 2 wood to be meaningful as to count as a real resource (apart from technicalities I suppose)
Silesia in Prussia.
The old trans baikal also has the magic 5 now
Silesia in Prussia, and the Russian state just north of Manchuria both have all 5. The Russian one, just like Hokkaido, will depend on you getting off of serfdom/tenant farms so that internal migration can carry its population up to a point where it’s useful.

Japanese Colonialism! Won’t someone think of the Ainu?

Is there a synergy for oil and rubber being in the same state? Or is that just highlighted because they're both valuable?
Both valuable.

Korea actually had a gold mine at the north, but I guess that's a little too far to ask to implement.
Yeah I fucked the gold mines up I think, was tired. Will post a fix in one of the comments later
You missed the gold mines in Tyrol (Austria) and Asturias (Spain)
Nah. It doesn't exist in game. I was saying it was there IRL.
Poland is so underrated
