General Which game has the most unique resource system?

[quietoffensive]

The Supreme Commander resource system still blows my mind till today. The flow felt smooth unlike some RTS games where workers just stand around doing nothing. I like when resource systems actually affect the strategy deeply instead of just “mine gold, chop wood” every time. Some modern games try too hard though. Before you understand one resource mechanic, another tutorial popup appears. I can't actually go through that.

Supreme Commander’s economy system is still ahead of many modern RTS games honestly. The smooth resource flow made everything feel connected instead of workers carrying tiny gold bags up and down forever . I’m tired of games adding complicated systems just to look “deep.” Before you understand one mechanic, another tutorial pops up talking about crystals, energy, influence points and one nonsense like that.
