I'm sorry that I'm missing this, but my group is just a little confused. On page 56, it states "Resources include particularly valuable resources of lumber, metal, gems, food, or the like. A resource hex increases a kingdon's Economy by 1."
This implies that every Forest hex within a kingdom counts as a resource - I can't imagine a more valuable resource for lumber than a forest. Is this correct?

Nope; what it's talking about are specific groves of really fine trees. When you look at any of the maps of the regions, you'll see that some of the encounter locations have a coin-shaped tag associated with them. These are what's being talked about—these are "resource hexes."
In particular in the Greenbelt...

Resource hexes mean hexes that contain "rare" or "special" resources. Every hex contains earth, stone, metal, and some wood .. but only hexes with Silver Mines, big deposits of marble, gem deposits, or rare fine woods (Teak, Mahogany) would be "resource hexes" in that sense.
In general, some of the threads here have been debating how to make Forest hexes worth claiming. In the rules currently, they have no value.
