I just want to say that, assuming the AI is competent enough to handle it, this resource support model is one of the most outstanding improvments of the game (again, assuming it was implemented well).
A BIG round of applause to Cap and the other guys who came up with it.

Well the resource based model is a step in the good direction but I had hoped that it would be tied in with the trade system (e.a only cities that receive those resources directly or by trade can build specific units. I know exactly why they did it: gameplay issues. (which is a good thing). It makes things far easier to keep track of but I do hope that resource squares (not those classic squares for food/shield bonus etc) are rare. If they're spread around as in Civ2 we'll have special resources coming out of ears and not much places to trade them with (as other civs will have those resources too).
It could become an issue once the initial excitement has died down though. This is exactly the sort of thing people would gripe about: "Waaaah, the Civ3 resource model is unrealistic! How can one resource square supply the entire empire!?". Whilst forgetting it's just a game, not a full historic simulation.Last edited by CapTVK; October 18, 2001, 16:40.Skeptics should forego any thought of convincing the unconvinced that we hold the torch of truth illuminating the darkness. A more modest, realistic, and achievable goal is to encourage the idea that one may be mistaken. Doubt is humbling and constructive; it leads to rational thought in weighing alternatives and fully reexamining options, and it opens unlimited vistas.
