Natural Resource Appearance Ratio

[Stuie]

Hey all-

Could someone explain the Natural Resource Appearance Ratio in the editor? I know that in the help file it says if a resource is set to 160 and you play with 8 civs, there will be two of that resource per civ. So... does that mean that the appearance number (160) divided by 10 (16) is the number of times that the given resource will appear on the map? Or is there something else going on here?

The appearance ratio determines how many of a resource is created when the map is first made. And the divide by 10 thing is how I'm seeing it as well. So with the max number now at 900, that will mean 90 resources. I've never tried to verify that though.
