At the least, start the thread... People will respond more if they get a better idea of the way it'll work.
p), and I'm not sure for the Amurites.
Hmm... I've been thinking that it might be nice to add a few more resources to the game. Apples and other fruits, production/commerce resources, whatever. In general, more resources.
Any ideas? Preferably, ideas that have decent graphics associated?
One mod for that: Rise of Mankind
But I'm not for adding resources just for the sake of it. You have to tie them to building and/or units, guilds, etc. Otherwise they're useless. It's already easy enough to gather health and happiness...
Steal from Orbis.
I like their Duskwood Resource and the small bonus it gives to archery. It is nice to have a resource that has effects other than Health or Happiness.
Possible to make River specific resources? Salmon or trout for instance?
Can resources do OTHER things, Like Diplo bonus? or +1 GP (tied to a building)?
Is there any harm in adding Resources JUST for bonus squares? Do they have to add a secondary effect?
Could use the 'coca' graphic... Looks nothing like coca anyway. 
Yeah, I actually plan to do that myself for Gunpowder, only available with something like Sulfur + whatever. Or through a guild, don't know yet. I would also like to add some resources like Ale; like a Legends resource given to the first civ that manage to build a new wonder like The Odyssey
Each library would give +1 for Legends (and maybe +10%
if it's possible, don't remember for now) and the Great Library would give +2...You could create a building requiring river and something else and then give a resource thanks to that.
I enhanced the resource diplomacy system, if you're interested.
That's what I'm looking at now, actually.
I don't want to add pointless resources either. Any I add will have in game effects, or be tied to guilds somehow... One thing I would like to do is have resources that need to be refined, for example. Maybe add coal, and allow Iron + Coal to be refined into Steel, taking the place of Mithril Weapons... Then buff Mithril Weapons, and make Mithril rarer.
If you have Hobbits AND Corn if you have Hobbits AND Wheat if you have Hobbits AND Apples
Gnomes AND Black Powerer Gnomes AND Copper AND Iron
Oh, wow. You just made my day.
I'm liking this idea more and more. Is it possible to make an improvement civic dependent, so Hobbit Slave Pits are built by those running Slavery, and Hobbit Bakeries are built by those not running slavery?

I like that Idea.
Poisoned weapon for recons would be neat too.
Okay more ideas, NO clue how to make them work.
- Mount type: +10% str mounted units (like nightmare sorta)
plant: increases friendly units in your culture healing by 5%
Would it be wrong to have sub races as a resource? I think having Hobbits as a resource would be hilarious. Can you make having a resource make a building be buildable. The pre-req for the building be ownership of the resource and then the buildings production be linked to that resource (ie you trade it away the building does nothing)
I am seeing Hobbit Bakeries that give
+1
+1
+1
Gnome Tinkerers Hut
+1
+1
