This is going a bit far; if we're going to do this then we may as well actually implement some sort of supply requirement to all units.

Firaxis should have just made the entire battle system more complex. The fact that units have no need for supply lines, or anything else (as long as you have that extra gold in the treasury...) like that makes things very unrealistic. I think there ought to be some sort of supply system, but that's wishful thinking in this series.

If you want oil supplied, what about ammo, and food? Where does it end?

[Jon Shafer]

It ends once they've included clean underwear.

"To build 'Aircraft Carrier' unit, you must have 1,450 pairs of clean underwear each turn."

It doesn't work since you won't be able to access it. You need to have a road connected to the resource before you can use it. And last I heard, it's not possible to build roads in the ocean.

But what's the point? Strategic resources are difficult to come by as it is, even if you max out the appearance ratio. Why waste one, or more, by putting it out in the ocean, where you'll never be able to access it? The only value you'd really get from it is if you turned it into a bonus resource, but then you'd no longer be able able to use it as a unit etc. requirement.
