Resource Frustration

[Grandpa Troll]

Now me, I am kinda like, "I grew up kinda poor in real life (except Love from Family )

Sooo.I want everyone to have a share of the wealth!

I make sure plenty of resources so I dont face what was mentioned toward top of post, where I am having Modern Armor and I have to run over and crusher spearmen and them fella that throw stuff..(No..not mudslinging politicians) but slingers I think they are called

Ok

My input about C3C Editing resource availability

I just finished playing a game on a 'large' map where I was on a continent with the French ( who are always nice to me! for some reason... ) and the Russians and there was only ONE source of rubber !!!

It sucked because I had stock piled a HUGE ordinance of artillery's and riflemen to upgrade and I was STOPPED COLD!!

Russia was my most competitive foe...and they were able to 'infintry-ize' (....that word may not exist.... ) and put my Guerrilla army to shame.

It's KINDA fun because I'm new to Conquests...and I was able to breeze through Civ3 before....I mean BREEZE...I'd have a ship to Alpha Centauri while other Civs were barely getting Musketmen....

But ONE 'freaking' source of rubber !!!!

The only other source was waaaaaaaay across the ocean with the Monguls. And EXACTLY as I was overkilling ( I was in a 'rubber scarcitiy' rage.. ) I won the game in a Point victory.

I didnt even get to use the awesomer weapons!!!!

But since this was my first Conquests game...I prolly just have to PLAN for scarce resources now ?

that sucks but a chance that a great leader or should I say a BRAVE leader would not shirk his leadership obligations, but be bold and surge forth his civilizations future!!

Ok..sound good at any rate!

The resource scarcity definitly changes things. I played a game and had no iron, no horses, no saltpeter, and no lux. I could not over come that disadvantage, but I've seen where others have done well.

Oh and I played on a regular map, and had a good size land mass.
