C2C- Resources Discussion and Ideas

[Dancing Hoskuld]

I complained about it when it was first introduced. It should not give anywhere as much food as a farm - so basically the resource becomes something you don't want in the city radius so it should be removed from the game.

That's if you want food. However if you want access to poison then mushrooms may be just the ting you need to get the Poison Promotion.

Also if we made say the mushroom farm give anti-air pollution that might be another reason you would want a mushroom farm instead of a normal farm.

 

[GT Ranma]

Well, also Mushrooms are use in a lot of food, but as a spice or something to add flavor to the dish. Almost every culture uses mushroom somewhere in their food. I'm not sure how you could work this into the game, or if you'd even want to. But some mushrooms, truffles, are highly sought after, and other fungus is used in medicine.

After all, if the Scotts didn't have mushrooms in their city radius, then they would never have made penicillin.

 

[JosEPh_II]

Why isn't the mushroom resource available in Preh Era when Mushrooms become available as a food item? Why does it skip thousands of years to later show up as a "farmable" resource? If it's a food source building in Preh it should also be a terrain resource in Preh.

[Dancing Hoskuld]

We need to go over the resources and make sure that they are doing what we want. this is the start of a set of tables showing what the resources are used for etc.

Map Resources

Map resources are those that appear on the maps. This includes terrestrial and non-terrestrial maps even if we don't have the latter at the moment.

Currently I a looking at

- are they in the right group (Bonus Class type)
- Are they providing the correct health and Happiness changes. (Note: in RoM the move was to remove both from the resource and put them on buildings but that tends to break the trade system or at least devalue the resources.
- Are they appearing often enough (and in the right location on the World. Note can't specify hemisphere or East-West limit can only define how far they occur from the equator​

Manufactured resources - to come

Culture resources - to come - @Hydro I am trying to figure out how the requirements for the various cultures are defined so that I can try and make a proper page in the pedia which shows their requirements.

 

[Hydromancerx]

@DH

1. All culture resource requirements can be found here. Note that if I ever add more some requirements may change.

2. When you say "FOOD BonusClass" whats that mean? What do the groups do?

3. I am thinking that Hemp (BONUS_CANNABIS) should be revealed at Gathering and Enabled at Weaving. Also it should have some sort of gathering camp early on.

Are they providing the correct health and Happiness changes. (Note: in RoM the move was to remove both from the resource and put them on buildings but that tends to break the trade system or at least devalue the resources.

4. I tend to agree with Afforess' idea of having resources have little to no stats while the buildings they influence have the effects.

5. Yes Guinea Pigs should be livestock. Traditionally they were eaten and not kept as pets.

6. Yes Platinum should be a Luxury resource.

@DH

Absolutely useless as far as the pedia is concerned. Where in the XML is the "building" that gives one, I'll figure something out.

2. When you say "FOOD BonusClass" whats that mean? What do the groups do?

As far as I can tell the BonusClassTypes have no meaning except to make it easier to compare those in the same class.

3. I am thinking that Hemp (BONUS_CANNABIS) should be revealed at Gathering and Enabled at Weaving. Also it should have some sort of gathering camp early on.

It can use the same plant gathering bonuses as all the other plants then.

4. I tend to agree with Afforess' idea of having resources have little to no stats while the buildings they influence have the effects.

I did not like it when it was Zappara's idea. It destroys trade as can be seen in both RoM and RoM:AND. In C2C there is no need for trade in resources. As I mentioned elsewhere I was able to trade for corn but I could not use it for anything and so got no benefit at all. A whole interesting aspect of Civ has been thrown out.

it depends upon the resource. If you traded vegetable then you would get a lot more benefits. However Corn alone gives some building benefits such as at the Granary/Modern Granary and % with your Nature Alter buildings.

 

[GT Ranma]

I still feel like you should have at least one Bronze Smith (making Bronze Ingots) to be able to make units with Bronze Armor. Same for Iron. It is done on units that need Steel, but not in pre-modern history units that I could tell.
Now, I can understand the arguments against this, not everyone is going to have Bronze or Iron right off the bat. But I feel, with the unique units created from the various cultures in game, this handicap would be offset. And it would give people a reason to build these buildings. Especially in early games, when every last +1 health you get is important.

 

[Hydromancerx]

Especially in early games, when every last +1 health you get is important.

it was not always that way. The game use to have and out the wahzoo. Thankfully we have pushed the scales in the other direction where cities actually become unhealthy and your tech slider is not always at 100%.

 

[Dancing Hoskuld]

I propose to remove the happiness from Fig and Pumpkin leaving them with just +1 and the from Resin leaving it with just one

 

[Hydromancerx]

Sounds fine.

EDIT: BONUS_COCOA should probably be -1, +1

EDIT2: and BONUS_GEODE +1

 

[Nimek]

Disagree about cocoa stats.

Only tobacco/drugs related resources should give unhealthy. Other food resources should give +1 health because more complex diet means that people are more healthy (in every economy game it works that way)

Happines should be reserved for manufactured luxury resources. I think that we should return for simple resource system like it was in civ3.

Luxury resources gives happyiness
Food resources gives health
Metals (like gold silver) gives gold
Production related gives hammers
Strategic gives no bonuses but access to advanced military units

That was the Civ 4 model also. Civ 3 had a better model of availability - local, national and source foreign.

In general I agree however we have changed a couple of resources the main being Elephants/Ivory to explicitly give both Elephants (Strategic) and Ivory (Luxury) which complicates things slightly. Also we have a huge number of manufactured resources (118 last count) some of these fill one or more categories.

Then there is the fact that one one generation considers a luxury another considers essential eg shoes. If we could give technology related changes to health and happiness to resources I would be happier. That way shoes could provide stat out providing happiness (luxury), then happiness and healthiness for awhile but latter only provide healthiness. (BTW Tobacco when introduced to Europe was seen as a healthier alternative to excessive alcohol consumption.)

Whatever the one for Cocaine (not Chocolate) should have the unhealthiness.

 

[GT Ranma]

What what what, the Cocoa Bean should have positive health effects
For example, I defer to wiki once again. (I really like giving sources)

The researchers found that the Kuna Indians living on the islands had significantly lower rates of heart disease and cancer compared to those on the mainland who do not drink cocoa as on the islands. It is believed that the improved blood flow after consumption of flavanol-rich cocoa may help to achieve health benefits in hearts and other organs. In particular, the benefits may extend to the brain and have important implications for learning and memory.

 

[Dancing Hoskuld]

OK. I did the wrong one. If I remember correctly I made a spelling mistake when I put the two in. I'll check and change. Need to check that all the drug ones do increase the income for the apothecary and pharmicist buildings.

Edit we don't have Cocaine as a resource as far as i can see which means that I may have missed putting it in.

 

[GT Ranma]

Coca leaves are what they make Cocaine out of.

 

[Dancing Hoskuld]

1. The difference is that Brazilwood is a multi-purpose wood. It's main uses are for the dye industry (although it has been mostly supplanted in this role in the modern day, due to industrial dyes being cheaper and the Brazilwood becoming an endangered species) and as the wood used in high quality bows for string instruments. It is useful in other timber roles as well, such as furniture, which is why it provides a prime timber resource with it's building, to keep me or someone else from having to go through and alter every building which is affected by prime timber.

2. The whole idea here is to split up the "spices" resource to make the spice trade more complex. The spices available in India, Indonesia, Mexico, and Jamaica are all completely different, and hugely economically important for different reasons. I feel that it's more important to separate out the spice resources than, say, the fruit resources, as the international fruit trade didn't take off until the modern day. The spice trade, on the other hand, was one of the main reasons colonization even happened.

3. That's the way I see it too, although as you can see from my list, many of the traditional dyes came from resources that in no way make sense to be on "plantations". Cinnabar, for instance, is a mineral resource. That being said, I consider splitting up the spice resource to be far and away more important than splitting up the dye resource, if a choice has to be made to prevent resource bloat. My main idea with the dye splitting is to have different buildings and things that can be made when you have access to certain colored dyes. The only one I have a solid idea for right now though is the Desert Camouflage Maker, which adds Desert Combat 1 and 2 to all military units built in that city, but it requires access to Khaki dye to make. Cutch was traditionally used to make Olive colors and drab greens as well as brown dyes, so it could be used for a more traditional camouflage color, granting, perhaps Woodsman 1 to units built in it's city.

4. The difference is, again, that the prime timber represents primarily those lumber types which are used just for furniture and construction. Logwood is used more in the dye industry than it is used in the lumber industry. The modern day nation of Belize was born out of British Logwood camps in the area.

5. I agree completely. Sunflower came to mind as being the most economically important flower, but there are other hugely important ones as well. The entire Dutch economy was, at one point, built around tulips until the bubble burst.

Edit: Here is the updated list. All resources have been altered to no longer grant happiness, but almost all of them now grant access to a building that does give happiness. What about resources that grant +1 Health?

We have split the Dye resource into Indigo, Henna and Murex. Should we now look again at this for spices and also consider splitting incense (frankincense, myrrh and sandalwood come to mind)? I would go for fewer in number Allspice as a new world spice with Pepper and Cinnamon as eastern with saffron and ginger making 5. We would still need graphics.

Edit we don't have Cocaine as a resource as far as i can see which means that I may have missed putting it in.

Oh I thought you added it back when I made the chocolate request. Oh well. Maybe you can add it later. I think I even made buttons/icons for it.

EDIT: This is why I thought you added it.
