Luxury resource limit??

[cheerful]

What is the criteria for luxury resource to show up in the city screen?

I have dye, ivory and silk in all city screen. I also have gold within my border and connected by railroad to all cities. But gold never shows up in the city screens.

1. WITHIN border + road -> available. Is this correct?

2. Is there any limit on the luxury resource from your own land (like 3)?

Gold is not a luxury, but a bonus resource. It's only contribution to your empire is when you work the tile it's on.

Gold is not a luxury resource, it's a bonus resource.

hmm

what about the trade advisor screen. this could be a city display bug

[Stegalin]

gold is not a luxury resource.

it's one of those bonus resources, like the cows, game, etc...


If I read right from the chat transcript, there will never be more than 1 luxury per civ(per type of lux. but can be less). And, there will always be at least 1 strategic resource per civ (per resource, but could be more)



Also, anyone else finding oil very hard to see when it appears in tundra with forests??? Or coal in jungle?

[TheDarkside]

It's not allowed to be traded either. Bonus resources, including Fish, Whales, Grain, Game and Gold are only there to serve a small bonus for the particular city that is fortunate enough to be within range of one to actually assign a worker to the tile andreap it's various bonuses. That's the extent of their use.

I can never find any of the resources on the screen . except saltpeter

I usually have to bring up the trade advisor screen to see what I have.

On the visibility issue. Thank god, I thought it was only me Shouldn't there be an overlay where the squares with strategic resources are hilighted or something?
