where is my gold?

[567peter]

On the city screen I can see that I have gold in my territory. However, I have not the faintest idea where...
In Civ3 one of the advisors would tell you where the resource you had could be found, but I have not been able to find something like that in Civ4.

anyone know of an easy way to find the whereabouts of your own resources?

!_!

I suppose you could zoom out and put on the resource flags (ctrl + r).

But when you put the city down did you not notice it? Or when the mine turned it up did you not zoom to it?

[Adagio]

Maybe the gold is hidden under one of your cities?

[Alex]

Use Ctrl-R to highlight resources in the map, preferably when you're in the globe view.

[567peter]

Thanks folks, Ctr-R is a real help. Still cannot find the gold though! Maybe under a city.

u didn't trade it from a ai by any chance?

[LordShiva]

Just remember the Golden Rule... He who has the gold, makes the rules.

[567peter]

No - I probably just did not pay enough attention and built a city on it....

[Silver14]

You're not getting the gold from another Civ are you? No trade routes? That would explain why you can't find it. Even if you built a city on it control-r should bring up where the gold is at.



With control-r on just look for things that look like well...gold. Sometimes gold spawns on hills if you are lucky, so you may have built a mine where no gold existed originally but does now.
