Oil is produced by the [[building]] type [[Oil Rigs]]. Oil can be used as a short or long term investment or for [[stockpiling]]. Barrels of oil are a very important source of income for the [[oiler]] strategy and countries require oil for most types of [[attacks]].

There is an oil requirement for all normal and special attacks. For every 25 [[military units]] sent on the attack, one barrel of oil is consumed. Note that the final amount of oil needed is truncated; thus, attacks using less than 25 units will not consume oil. The amount of units able to be supported by a country's oil is always displayed in the [[War Room]].

==Oil Production==
 
−
 
 
−
Oil rigs produce barrels of oil per turn. The exact formula for oil production is:
 
−
 
 
−
round(oil_rigs * govt_oil_bonus)
 
−
 
 
−
where
 
−
 
 
−
oil_rigs is the number of oil rigs
 
−
 
 
−
govt_oil_bonus = 1.75 for the [[fascism government]] and 1.00 for all other governments
 
−
 
 
−
Note that oil production is not affected by any [[technology]].
 
−
 
 
−
==Liquidity of Price==
 
−
 
 
−
Oil cannot be purchased or sold on the private market. Thus, the public market oil price can be very variable. The price of oil often jumps when large [[first strikes]] occur or when an alliance does an oil [[buyout]]. In addition, the price of oil usually crashes very quickly towards the end of the [[reset]].
 
−
 
 
−
The minimum price for oil on the public market is $13. Any oil priced at $12 or below will be automatically purchased by the market and will not be available for other players to buy. The maximum price for oil is based on the seller's private market discount. The maximum is $4320 multiplied by all factors which lower private market prices. These factors are military tech, one of the bonuses of the [[theocracy]] government, and [[military bases]].

==Invulnerability to attacking==
 
−
 
 
−
Oil is the least vulnerable resource to attacking and spy ops. No attack destroys or steals barrels of oil from another country. Oil is only vulnerable to the [[raid oil reserves]] spy operation.
 
−
 
 
−
==Random Events==
 
−
 
 
−
Oil production is affected by two random events. If a country produces at least one barrel of oil per turn, there is a 0.1% chance that oil production will be tripled for a turn and the text "An oil boom occurred!" will be displayed. There is also a 0.1% chance that oil production will be reduced by 2/3 for a turn. If this event happens, the text "A fire in your oilfields impact production this turn!" will be displayed.

 Oil is used by your military forces when attacking. It costs 1 barrel of oil for every 25 military units (troops, jets and tanks) sent into battle. Oil can be purchased on the public market, or produced with oil rigs. There is no type of technology to produce more oil. Fascist governments produce +75% more oil per rig than other governments.
Oil can only be bought and sold on the express server private market.		 $400
(express only)		 $60
