somebody in that discussion (who had to repeat it twice for people to notice) said he found the two whales naturally occuring by the city. What topic was that discussion on? if I knew, I could quote the guy.

Of course, we don't know if the Whales occurred naturally or if they appeared after the city was founded, fwiw.
I personally am still leaning towards Indonesia have the luxury resources because it would be odd for them to have a resource UA and not be the resource civ. But I am suspicions we haven't heard more yet.

It is probably normal whales like I said before it is Indonesia special resource(s) probably are like mercantile resources you don't see them but you can have them.
I got my three off the wikipedia article for the Spice Islands

It would be great, if they give Indonesia three unique spices (which it sounds like they should) if they add Coffee and replace the generic catch-all spices. I don't think they will, but it would be nice.

They could have stuff like coffee, rice, batik, etc, but if Indonesia is indeed the resource Civ then with a name like 'Spice Islanders' the only thing that makes sense are Indonesian spices.
(It would fit in well with the trade aspect as well since a lot of countries gained huge economic benefits from the Spice exploration around the archipelago. Especially the Dutch East India Trading Company)

Pepper, Cinnamon, and Coffee. Resources I want Indonesia to have.
If you ignore the fact that Pepper is native to South India, Cinnamon is native to Sri Lanka, Coffee is native to East Africa, and that Nutmeg and Cloves are actually native to Indonesia, it's a damn good proposal.

This is why I think having native spices would make much more sense.
At the same time though, cinnamon and coffee have been grown in a distinctly Indonesian way for so long that I don't think anybody would be complaining. Sort of like horses and American Indians. They've been around so long that they are essentially "native" to that culture

I meant that, since Indonesia likely will have three spice-related resources the generic "spice" resource should be replaced as coffee as a resource anyone can get. I don't think it makes sense for Indonesia to have nutmeg, cloves, etc. and someone else has "spices."

Oh

Nutmeg and mace are both from the same fruit even.

Curry isn't one thing, it's a combination of many, many things.
Curry is even many, many different combinations of many, many things.

It's probable that we'll be getting cinnamon in some form, considering the current spices icon - would be a waste of work for them to just throw it away. So either current spices will become a cinnamon lux and keep the icon, or spices will become something uncinnamony and Indonesia will get the icon for their unique cinnamon lux, along with nutmeg and cloves or alike.

Nutmeg, Mace and Cloves. Boom. There you go.
I'd still like Venice to get a Glass-producing UB, but if Indonesia are indeed getting new luxuries, I doubt it will happen. But a luxury-producing UB would be really cool and different, I think.
