Is it just me or do they usually spawn in very odd placements?
Oddly enough, i am never short on oil or aluminium...but ive noticed that coal, iron and uranium can get very rare. Sometimes horses too (entire continent with no horses, playing as a civ with a mounted UU...). Ive seen whole continents without coal and low amounts of iron.
Uranium seems to be the rarest...after researching satellites, i found out in my last game that the entire map had only one size 4 uranium deposit.
Edit Also i thought starts were supposed to be geared towards your civ?
>start as russia, starting location is a desert without any strategic resources within 3 tiles of my first city
And
>start as spain
>no natural wonders nearby
>can't be the first to find any because i am surrounded by jungle, forest and hills/mountains on a tiny island
