  • Do rivers give access to resources?

    This screen shows that the city have access to two resources, and obviously it is only connected to a river, no roads. Can we from that make the conclusion that rivers work on connecting you with the trade network?

    Could the city have been bulit on one?
    The eagle soars and flies in peace and casts its shadow wide Across the land, across the seas, across the far-flung skies. The foolish think the eagle weak, and easy to bring to heel. The eagle's wings are silken, but its claws are made of steel. So be warned, you would-be hunters, attack it and you die, For the eagle stands for freedom, and that will always fly.

    Darkness makes the sunlight so bright that our eyes blur with tears. Challenges remind us that we are capable of great things. Misery sharpens the edges of our joy. Life is hard. It is supposed to be.

      Maybe, but not on two. and will the resource stay if you build on it, or will it be destroyed?

        Don't know about resources, but check out this screenshot .

        I am absolutely convinced that river/deserts are excellent food production sites. A lush green flood plain and a wheat bonus. It has to be true.

          I think yo are right. This is excellent.

The war we fight is not against powers and principalities, it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope, the death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender. The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.'"

            If there is any realism in the use of terrain resources then this should be true.

              This thread is about resources, not about food production. And yes it should be true.

              What do you think? Are rivers links in the trade network?

                It would make sense! But who knows...

                    But it could be that the resources are under the citizens working the field being gathered without the aid of roads. Yes, I know that isn't supposed to work, but there resources on the tiles being worked.

                    Dan the Man said this was a beta picture, so could be a mistake or something.

                        Incidentally, judging from that screenshot, it seems to suggest that once you found a city you have "explored" the surrounding city radius, like in CtP/2, and unlike Civ2 where you had to move the unit all round to get the best use of land.

                          Did anyone also notice that 2 of the garrison units have little happy faces next to them, which seem to be the same happy faces of the 2 luxuries. Do luxuries make units happy? Maybe the happy faces represent free support. Perhaps, some luxuries increase happiness, while others increase free support.

                          In another screenshot, we can clearly see a happy face next to the citizen. But in this one, the happy face from the luxury is next to the military unit. What is the explanation?

                            I assumed that was just the usual "police" effect of troops garrisoned in the city, as with all the other Civ games. Hence the smilies are next to the luxuries in that picture.

                            Things that make people happy.

                              You are right. silly me. I guess I was just reading too much into it!
