Something needed in the new patch.

For the Firaxis team:

Many people like adding resources to their game. However there is a limit that only 4% of the map can be covered with resources. It would be really cool if you made this ajustable in the editor.

Please

If they made it adjustable in the editor then it will be scary what some people might think to do with it. However for people that like to use their imagination when creating scenarios it might help, but it would be too easy IMHO.

I don't see your point. Many of the editor's features make it possible to remove all the challenge from the game. If the player chooses to use them in that fashion, it's his own problem. The fact is that the 4% resource coverage makes it impractical to play with large amount of resources, since you get so few of each or the ones at the bottom of the list don't appear at all.

I don't see how it could be any more scary than what is currently available in the editor (make Buildable Leaders at Shield cost one, only available to your civ). I suspect that the reduced resources being reported across numerous fansites is a direct result of this limitation. I recall reading this issue a long time ago back in Civ 3.

Civrules-I was going to respond, but Drift and Kring voiced my oppinions.

Firaxis-If you are out there, please considder my suggestions. All the people who play the big mods would thank you(and thats about 30.000!).

I second that!
and remove the resource-overflow bug so we can use more than 32 of them safely...

Was 4% map coverage the limit with PTW as well?

Im pretty sure it is. Remember it is only in random generatet maps.

you know... I bet if the bar was in creased to just 6% it would more or less make up for less availibility of some resources due to the new ones...

Actually just 5% would do the trick. The point is that a resource apperance slider would help modders balance their mods much more.
