So, let's get back to leather for a minute. Some resources can act as food, some can act as energy, and steel and coke are for actually winning the game. Where does that leave leather?
Its good for four francs/points when shipped. But honestly, leather is just awful. I think its meant to be a consolation prize for the fact that the 3 food on meat cannot be converted into change when used, but its still kind of lame. I think I've yet to see a game where shipping leather made the difference between a win or a loss.
I have a house rule that removes the 4x limitation from the hides to leather conversion, but even then its still not a profitable move. I think using the business office to convert hides into Steel + whatever is better than converting and shipping.
