So I discovered iron, upgraded two swordsmen and now it's gone? Is that it? Will i ever get more?
 
Each strategic resource you have improved in your territory (or trade) lets you build another unit / building using that resource.

When a unit using that resource dies, you can build another

Hmmm that sort of sucks no? Like "whoa, here comes my two swordsman army."
 
Hence, you build pikeman and wait till you get musketmen.
Luckily siege equipment- catapults and trebuchets no longer have the iron requisite.
 
It's the idea of only being able to extract enough Iron from the mine to support X number of equipped soldiers.

That said, Iron is one of those resources that I usually glaze over unless I'm Rome or Japan.
