I've noticed that luxury resources all seems the same. They all provide 4 ammenities. Wouldn't it be cooler if they all provide a different number of ammenities and had a varying number of copies per tile?
That way we could have luxuries that provide many copies for trading, but aren't worth as much as they only provide a single amenity or a luxury that is worth a bundle of amenities and a huge amount in a single trade, etc.
I just find that if I can't trade for a single luxury from a leader then i know they won't trade me any at all, where as I might be able to persuade them to trade a 1 or 2 amenity luxury instead of a 4 amenity one. I also find that I don't really care about which luxuries I start with, just that I have a luxury or not is the only thing that really makes a difference at the moment.
