End-Around for Resource Limits
(I posted this over at civfanatics as well. Looking for some feedback. Will this work?)
From what I understand reading this board, apparently you can only add two new resource Icons to the game if you want them to show up on the map. I understand it is possible to add more resources and either reuse one of the other resource icons or not have it “appear” on the map. The resource actually appears on the map you just can’t see it. The only way to know where it is is to right click on the terrain square and check to see what is there. Highly tedious.
I would rather just lump a bunch of the resources together, i.e. silver, gold, copper, platinum, alter the graphic to indicate that its not just gold and then the user can click to see just what exact resource it is, already knowing that something is there and what general family it is. This way we could have livestock and then differentiate into sheep, cows, fowl, pigs, etc. , Vegetables, split into, corn, potatoes, greens, etc. Game, deer, moose, seal, pheasant, squirrels, etc. Fruits could be pineapples, apples, bananas, grapes, etc. Gemstones, diamonds, sapphires, rubies, emeralds, jade, etc. Incense with Tobacco and other smoky things.
You get the idea.
Now what do you think? Is this even possible? What resources should be lumped together?
