  • Resources in the Game, facts only

    I don't know whether or not there has been a thread on this before, but I checked the last month without finding anything. So I started a new one.

    The goal of this thread is to find out all resources that is included and what bonuses they give.

    Screenshots (and videos) are prime source, as text written by Firaxians.
    Previews are secondary source, and require multiple references to be considered as true. Also note that newer screens are more important then older (obviously). Edit: Also screens without named resources are in this category.
    Edit 2: (?) after an image means that it might be that resource, the name is sure, but the image has been guessed.
    Edit 3: (?) after a name means that it is guessed
    Edit 4: If you provide new info be sure to include a link to that info.
    Also info complied by CivFanatics has been proven to be false, and will not be considered as facts.
    Edit 5: Layout cannged to table a prerequire for a resource is no longer within {}
    Edit 6: All known effects are listed. That doesn't mean that there aren't other effects as well as the on currently listed.
    Edit 7: UUs now appear in [color={linkcolor}]linkcolor[/color]

    I believe coal is another strategic resource. I remember reading that it and iron were necessary for a minor wonder that allows you to produce steel, which is required for many modern units.

      From civfanatics, it says that gold and wine may be other luxuries too.

        I thought that too, but I was looking for it in one hour without find it, but I've seen it on pictures . Still I don't know for sure whether it is just a Bonus or a Strategic Resource. Can someone help me out.

          Have seen them on the map too, and I don't see that it can be anything but luxuries. Still I'd like a text-reference other then one summed up by another civ-site.

                  That is what I don't know.

                  I haven't figured that out.

                      Why would it be a tile bonus? It doesn't give trade or food certainly, and production only questionably. I'd say its a strategic one, but I have no evidence to back it up, except a few screenshots.

                          I think that is all we have. I don't know where else to look.
