Thats what I did!

A piece of advice - lower your strats and luxes appearance ratio to 100 or lower - especially if you have a lot of civs. the first map I did with these was on a standard map with 31 civs with most appearance ratios around 800 to 1000. Not only did it take FOREVER to load, but there HUGE chunks of each resources - 32 spices all grouped together and the like. Just keep tweaking the numbers until you are atisfied with what you see.

Do any luxuries over 8 affect happiness? I was under the impression that only the first 8 made citizens happy and that extras had no effect.

I have just done extensive playtesting and without a doubt the game will NOT UTILIZE MORE THAN EIGHT LUXURIES.

You can have more than eight but they are pointless as a city with 32 luxuries generates the same number of happy faces from them as a city with only eight.

Still one more example of Firaxis going the extra mile to program out scenario and mod building possibilites. Man, I hope a civ-friendly developer gets the job to make Civ 4 and not Firaxis.

As I said before, using this pcx, I only use 12 luxuries, all of which are so rare the chance of getting more than 8 in one city is very slim. The other 84 resources being strategic and bonus.

It looks to me like the game itself can handle more than 8, just not more than 8 in one city. For example:

City A has luxuries 1 through 8 available, and gets a boost of 8 happiness. City B has luxuries 5 through 12, getting the same boost. The problem occurs when a city gets that ninth luxury which would give no happiness.

This might make any luxury pointless for happiness reasons, but still usefull for denying other civs happiness or trading.

If I am wrong on this let me know.

Either way, it is up to the user to determine how they use these resources.

Considering Sid Meier owns both the rights to Civilization name and Firaxis, I don't see that happenning. Best we can hope for is that Firaxis recent hiring flurry of high-end developers will do the trick, and hopefully they will have enough cajones to tell the publisher when they are or are not ready to publish it.

The pipe looks strange. Why have pipes as a ressource?

[Amesjustin]

as an alternative to the leaf for tobacco.

[Falconius]

I'm new to making mods. How would I add these?

[Amesjustin]

rename your Resource.pcx file to resource_old.pcx. Then put this file in its place.

Then use the editor to add the new resources.

[Falconius]

OK, got that. But what do you put for "Civilopedia Entry"? Is there a text file I need to alter?

[Amesjustin]

Civilopedia.txt in the Text folder. Look for the other resources.

You could also point the new resources to the older ones in the editor, and they work just fine. The description in the Civilopedia will be wrong, but the resource will still work.

Read through the Civilopedia.txt, as well as the other text files. Also check out the help threads here and @ www.CivFanatics.com. Both are helpful.

Amesjustin, THANKYOU ET AL for this fine work!!

Just now, today put it to work, greeeat job.

In working with Snoopy's graphics, I found some resource icons to dark for my taste, however it was no problem modifying to suit my needs and even create a new one from scratch, again many thanks.
