    Just as I surmised!

    When I discovered refining... 3 Oil resources were found in my territory! It sure makes up for having nothing else . Of course this could lead to unwelcome attention (ie, wars).

      I'm missing out on my UU! Bad resource model!
      Imran, I hope you change your mind about the resource model. I have been thwarted as the English as well in my current game -- I picked them for Man-O-War, had saltpeter but no iron. And nobody -- NOBODY -- would trade me for it, not even if I offered them a small city (which, if you think about it, is the right AI move).

      All this to say, it's given me a clear objective -- clearer than any Civ game so far that's for sure -- even if it's p***** me off, that's what kept me up til 5 this morning (!) So I have to applaud the resource model whole-heartedly.

        My objection was to the scarcity of the resources. But since I can increase the number of resources, that has been solved.

        I mean, saltpeter, coal, iron are found virtually everywhere!

          Nah... go on Imran don't change it.

          If you do you'll miss out on some of the competivity....... competitivity...... competition in the game for resources. If there is only one source of oil in the whole world ( you ) it means you can either become a trading monopoly for it or become everyone else's ***** as they go to war with you cause you won't just give it to them for free.

            Yes, but some of it is just too annoying. I probably won't change it, but it can get frustrating. After all, saltpeter & coal shouldn't be in such small supplies around the world.

              um, but it makes you go out and fight some wars. and i really like it.
              i just managed to start a world war in the medieval times. alliances formed around the strategic resources and the empires started battling it out. WW1 around 1500 and AI is really sending help and battling it out. Whoa, all that on Chieftain level

                Lol, the resource topic!

                I thought it would be ok, but I just noticed I don't even have any iron. I just hope my culture rating will make up for that.

                Playing on a sizeable continent (huge map, of course) too. Spanning 9 cities without overlap.

                Oh did I mention the bloody computer opponents build their size 1 cities on every single tile they can get on *my* continent, RIGHT NEXT to my border. There are 4 opponents settling in right now. 4!!! This sort of thing is a sure-fire way to get me on my war-horse.

                Aah, the first one eradicated. You're next, Abe!

                    Bah I don't need their ill-placed camps in the wasteland. I raze them by default. Meanwhile, my borders creep up to cover all the land. That will keep them out.
