Originally posted by The Mad Monk That's correct, you get shields and trade, plus the resource 'credit', but food remians, as always, two.

I wasn't too clear in my original post. Yes, you get shields, but you effectively loose one shield by building on a resource, because a city built on grassland produces one shield. So when I build a city, I look for the non-shielded grassland tiles to build on.

The commerce bonus works only if your faction is.... commercial

I com'on, we're way past thac0 - now we've got BaB (base attack bonus).

There should be a flanking bonus. A sneak attack would be cool.

I like building cities atop resources. It`s a garanty of at least one resource to my civ, as my enemies normally like to build cities just outside the "farewell, traveller" plaque that lies on the bondaries of my cities.

You only loose the shield until the city grows to size 7. Cities (size 7+) get a bonus shield on the city square, but only if the base tile already produces a shield.
