Sugar and Tobacco not working...

[Tennyson]

Still playing my first game with the new expansion, but in that game I have multiple sugar and tobacco plots with roads, and they are not showing up as tradable luxuries nor as marketplace luxuries.

Did I not RTFM correctly? Anybody else getting these as working luxuries?

Sugar and tobacco aren't luxuries, they're simply bonus tiles such as wheat or cattle.

[Tennyson]

Oh. Dangit, I thought they'd added more tradable luxuries. Ah well.

Nope, just the original 8 luxs, you now get 4 more resources for bonus tiles.

Honestly I've been thinking about modding furs to a bonus resource and tobacco to a lux Makes more sense to me unless you live in Siberia :P

WE DEMAND HIDES!

I like the additional bonus tiles...it gives the geography more variety. So far I'm loving the changes...

Furs aren't hides?

I guess not as they are show as still alive. IIRC in civII they were shown as hides.

sugar as a luxury? come on! no one......likes........sugar.....

What would be nice is if you could activate/deactivate luxuries with tech advances. (Not reveal/hide, but change from bonus to lux and back to bonus).

Howabout a coffee luxury? Come on! No one ... can live ... without coffee

A connected coffee luxury would increase productivity in all your cities with 10%

I'm actually thinking of switching Ivory to a bonus resource (thus making the Zeus wonder less based on chance, and possibly requiring for India's UU as well...) and switching tobacco to a luxury.

Other than that, the new stuff isn't all that exciting. Too bad they couldn't find a way to add luxuries without unbalancing the system.

Edit: Just so nobody gets the wrong idea, by "Other than that, the new stuff isn't all that exciting" I am referring specifically to the bonus resources, not the expansion as a whole. As a whole, I'm loving it... (queue McDonald's commercial).

Too bad they couldn't find a way to add luxuries without unbalancing the system.

They could have if they had reduced the effect of marketplaces (e.g., 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2).
