Forum,

I'm an avid Civ IV dude, but something about the game (and previous iterations of the series) has always vexed: the abundance of strategic resources and how controlling more than a single 'node' is only beneficial in trading.

Is there a mod/tweak that limits the spawn of strategic resources (such as oil), increasing their value/effect? Like, I'd like to play a game knowing that I'll need control over certain areas (abundant in resources) to maintain my army, or that control of these areas bolsters unit production (more oil = more vehicles can be produced/maintained).

Are there any mods with these features, in tandem? And if not, maybe a custom 'Earth' map with more limited resources?

Thank you, preemptively, for any help.

Welcome to the CFC.

Lots of quantitative resource discussions have been started, but nothing concrete has ever come of it. There are some fuel modcomps I think.

If you have good ideas let us know.
