New Resourse -- Fish Mining

[steven8r]

Here's a screenshot from the Mesopetamia Conquest. I was the Sumerians and I had cleared a Wetland that had a fish bonus. I was then able to mine it.

Must be that new 'Agricultural' trait that lets the Sumerians mine fish!!!


Now, if I could just RailRoad it!!!!!

listen sonny, i been workin the fish mines for forty years! don't go actin like this is some new fangled thing. it's all sweat, blood, and a horrible, horrible smell where i come from! let me tell you...

[Inverse Icarus]

yeah, in mesopotamia fish swim in the marsh. when i first played it, i wondered if it was going to be in the normal game, but alas, it is not.

[pauli]

fish still occur in marshes in the epic game...

i just cleared one such square, but i'm going to resist the urge to mine it

[Inverse Icarus]

really? i've never seen that

[swat-spas2]

Yes, if you check the standard rules (which I did since I wanted to mod things here and there), you see that marsh tiles in the game can have oil, game, rubber as well as fish on them. I personally have not seen the fish tile in my subsequent games, but I know it is a possibility.

[Inverse Icarus]

yeah, i checked the editor, and it lists fish... but i generated 10 huge maps warm and wet, and didnt see any fish. odd.

In my epic game there was a Jungle tile that had a banana (tropical fruit) on it, and a few turns later it turned into a grassland tile with a banana on it. Unless I mysteriously cleared the jungle and somehow the banana decided to stay I don't see how that happened. There wasn't an oppurtunity for global warming to effect it either.

See The Amazing Mayan Banana Mines

Yes, I too have mined bananas. In fact, These bananas are fortified w/ vitamins and IRON (or at least barbed wire)


I didn't want the enemy to steal any of my resources!!!



I suppose that Banana Mines wouldn't be quite as smelly as Fish Mines. (At least they'd smell 'fruity')

i spose that you could go and irrigate a square with uranium to contaminate your entire irrigation network, maybe that's what that cure for cancer wonder is for

Mining fish

[Ecthy]

In Civ2 you could mine wine, and it even made a rhyme

[Provost Harrison]

You can in civ3

[MrWhereItsAt]

You could always mine Horses, or Wheat... But I never thought of it in this way until now.

Great thread - we need these every now and again. I would rate it 10/10 if the rating system was still in place.
