If a resource is in your cultural borders, has transportation attached, and is appropriately improved, you will get that resource. It does not need to be worked.

In other words, just mining a hill in order to get a magic source of iron won't cut it. So mining hills all over the map is a waste of time.
And, seeing how almost none of the resources are disclosed at the begining of the game, it seems almost ludicrous to think that you could place your cities in such stratiegic places that future developments pop-up near them.
Where did you get this?

Are you sure? It's been noted several times that simply discovering the tech ( and being in line-of-sight) will disclose resources.

It's in the description of the mine.

You're misunderstanding him. He's referring to the fact that whenever you build a mine on a non-resource tile, there's a "small" chance to discover a new resource (i.e. it's generated.)

Well... what DrrD said

You can airlift workers now, and artillery pieces. However, the units that are airlifted must start their turn in the city. If they move to the city, they cannot airlift until the next turn. They can only airlift to another city (which doesn't have to have an airport), and only one unit can airlift into a city per turn.
At the top of the flag for each unit or stack, there will be one or more small circles. The color of these circles represents the movement status: red=out of move points, green=full movement, yellow=some movement used but still has points remaining, and white=fortified. The number of circles is the same as the number of units in the stack, up to about 9 total.
A hydroelectric plant seems to be buildable if a city has a river anywhere within its city radius, but the Three Gorges Dam only seems to be buildable if the city is directly on the river.Age and treachery will defeat youth and skill every time.

So yeah, up until a couple of days ago, I was doing the same thing.Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God? - Epicurus

However, just can chop forest anywhere and get the hammers from itt ( though less than when in your borders). Good for stealing some hammers from newly founded AI cities though.

Regardless of where it belongs, it's a much appreciated thread for those coming up to speed on the UI for Civ 4, whether things are in the manual or not. I'm still so excited that I haven't finished reading the manual, just want to have my fun now.
Before I play my second game and probably move up to Prince, I'll be scrutinizing the manual. The game tutorial was very good and of course civilopedia.
