Alright, Necrons should be fixed now. As it turns out I accidentally overlooked the Faction when I was checking to ensure everything was working. They were completely missing the Ore Trading ability and the Energy Trading ability wasn't properly implemented since I changed how it was coded while making the abilities for other factions.

TLDR: It's fixed now, thanks for letting me know it was broken.

Great mod but I noticed when I started a necron campaign the trading options were missing. Might have something to do with the fact that necrons don't have food as a resource but idk just letting you know so you can check it out if you want.

That's fair, I might look into the possability of sending resources between allied players.

idk man, after playing for so long you crave new features. implying that the many allies ive had run into shortages mid game that i have many of makes it even cooler vs foreshadowing our downfall.

Thanks, but I would have to disagree with you. The idea that something similar to this should have been in vanilla game would rather balance breaking. The ability to exchange resources in Gladius opens up the possibility for many different strategies, but also empowers strategies that already existed. A good case for this would be something like Hero Spam. The ability to simply sell resource would certainly make acquiring heroes a lot faster. It also strengthens strategies that forgo early Eco in favor of Influence buildings as you can simply purchase whatever resources you find are at deficit. All in all, it's a very interesting topic to think of and honestly. I'm kinda glad something like this isn't apart of the base game in my opinion.

Great idea. this should have been added to vanilla!
