I've gone through entire games without horses. I could do without uranium as well depending on how close I am to winning.

"Extremism in the defense of liberty is not a vice." -- Barry Goldwater, 1964 GOP Nomination acceptance speech (not George W. Bush 40 years later...)

Well, as many games can end before the modern age, uranium and aluminum may never come onto the map.Comment

That sounds good, but is not always pratical. Say you need saltpetter and none iis on your contient. You can get to theirs yet, now what.Originally posted by chegitz guevara
If I don't have a resource I need I take it.
Maybe you can get to theirs, but they have muskets and calvs already. You may have the tech, but no saltpetter remember?
Oh the pain

This is where being a good Machiavellian pays off. Whether it's a permanent situation (you only want to trade for it but don't really want to conquer the resource) or as a way to allow yourself to build an army of conquest, finding out what a supplier lacks can be helpful.
It reduces your gpt costs of doing business, if you can throw in a luxury or a resource of your own into the deal. Sometimes, it even pays to go to war to nab a resouce/luxury you don't really need but your supplier needs. This can create profitable long term dependencies that can keep an important ally out of all future MAs against you.AI:C3C Debug Game Report (Part1) :C3C Debug Game Report (Part2)

Saltpeter is one of the LEAST important resources, as someone said earlier.
