it seems that one can still gain quite a lot :health: and :) bonuses form resources. my last game with the current beta indicated that. but i didn't play it long enough to be sure. but usually if i don't have any issues with :yuck: or :mad: early on there is no chance i will have later - due to resource bonuses, so no need even to build any special buildings.

when i compare the huge :health: or :) difference between a empire with no resources to an huge world spanning empire that has them all is just enormous - especially considering that until now you didn't even need so many to never get illness or rebelling citizen.

so i was thinking if there shouldn't be a civic dependant cut off for resource related bonuses (including resource bonuses from buildings)? e.g. slavery civic would allow you to accumulate a maximum of 5 :) from resources while free markets would cut the bonus at 15 :).

could be a nice idea to give civics some situation specialization and counter the runaway effect of large empires: e.g. large empires have many distant cities and a huge amount of different resources. so one could make all big empire civis (i.e. civics that lower maintenance) have a high resource bonus penalty - so they have a much harder time to run away form the other smaller civs due to :mad: problems in conquered territory.

I have a hard time getting enough :health: in the Industrial age.

Yes, please do play a full game with 1.73beta3. When you had arrived Industrial and later eras, analyze on please. It is hard enough for me right now. Like I said somewhere else, with new Culture spread, my cities are not doing awesome like before but slowly and systemically grow...

okay, that sounds interesting. i'll check that. guess will have to start a new game but chose a much faster game speed. with the current AI improvement i guess the game will last until industrial or longer.

Industrial age is nearly impossible to get through without a problem with Un-health, but once one gets to the Modern Age it gets much easier.

Just like in real life, sorta :)

Yeah, pretty much.
