Counterproposal to:
On game start, all luxuries are classified into 5 lists.
Special list: Marble always goes here. Each luxury in this list has its special function for placement.
Regional list: Each player's monopoly. All of them are to be placed within a single region.
City-State exclusive list: Only appears within CS. One of them has a 75% chance to appear in each CS's territory (otherwise a regional/random one is used).
Random list: These are scattered randomly around the world.
Disabled list: The rest. Not available on the map.
Ivory has 2.5% chance to appear in CS list, 4% chance to appear in grass region's regional list, and 14.3% chance to appear in plains region's regional list. Without hitting any of these, it falls right into the Disabled list since it can't be in the Random list.
Since it offers a unique benefit like Marble, I propose to move it to the Special list which will make it available every game, distributed across the map.
Amount will be 0.75 * number of civs, same as Marble.
Difference between this and counterproposal (b) is that this doesn't add it to grassland jungle, as it's unnecessary.

[Complex] - (6-33c) War Elephants Use New "Elephant" Strategic Resource
This is a counter-proposal to 'Make War Elephant Only Gifted By City-States', but NOT a counter to other ivory-related proposals with same numbering. Proposal: Keep the ivory/elephant combo as a resource/unit pairing rather than a CS-only gift unit, but convert it to make use of the strategic...
