Oh Ore and Oil add an extral layer of fun to the game. The AI has a major advantage there because it has lots of it, but still, it's an extra strategic decision layer added.
It's simple really. You want to build things? Then you need Ore. And certainly in the early stages of the game you have never enough of it. Sure you can upgrade your Ore mines, but that costs PP and that's scarce too! [:D]
Same with oil, you want nice and shiny stuff that impresses people, read tanks, ships and planes? Then you need oil to get them moving, and lots of it too.
Remember that when engineers (probably the most important troops in the game) build railroads they use up Ore too, not much, but again in the early stages you never seem to have enough of it... decisions decisions.
Your Capital *can* produce Oil and Ore, but only in small amounts. So if you start a game without that precious stuff you better order your Capital to produce some.
No Oil or Ore means producing foot/horse soldiers only, they scout for the mines, then you order your engineers to build a RR to that mine ASAP.
