I looked for this but could not find it.

I find it odd that so many people feel entitled to having resources within a capital's backyard so they can do their four-city tradition empire or, better yet, their one-city empire. Don't get me wrong, if that's how folks want to play, more power to them, but sprinkled throughout this thread--even in the tilte itself--there seems to be actual anger at the game's design for "screwing" the player by not planting resources within easy reach. Isn't Civ supposed to incentivize exploration and expansion?
My current OCC - no horses or iron. Yeah thats awesome.
Could use the resources to sell off and get a bit more $$$.
I better have both oil and aluminum or I will snap.
I usually play as Japan and have run through entire games with no ready iron. That sucks.Solution is to invade the AI's lands for resources.

It can be frustrating to eat up a huge chunk of land and have no resources and yet you see the AIs conveniently have tons of the resource(because they can see it ahead of time), yes. This is (part of) why Swordsmen suck.
Bad starting position is also a stimulus to explore, expand and conquer right?
