Just a minor question.
Wouldn't the US have Half the World's supply of grain? I mean they supply most of Africa's grain.
Just a tiny thing I was wondering, I don't really know of any other country other than the US that supplies Africa more than 60% of their grain, and still have enough left over.
Not at all. When people IRL say grain, they include corn in it. In this NES, they are separate. So what you say would probably be true for corn, but not for grain (wheat, barley, etc).
Carmen,
check out this thread. It is the largest world map ever for civ4, and Genghis Kai made extensive research while placing resources on it. He has a huge list of references. I am sure you'll find it very useful in allocating resources to countries. Download the package, in it, there is an excel file that shows amounts of all resources per country (or per region in case of larger countries), as well as an image file showing the borders of these regions on a world map. It will save you lots of research for the resources.
Also from my part, quoting a very old post, in which some items might be relevant to your resources:
Turkey is the country with
1- Highest tea consumption per capita.
2- Highest bread consumption per capita.
3- 74% of world's hazelnut production.
4- 25% (highest fraction) of world fig production.
5- 18% (highest fraction) of world apricot production.
6- 64% of known Boron reserves
7- 40% (highest fraction) of known Marble reserves
8- Almost all known meerschaum reserves
9- Oldest known fortified settlement (Catalhoyuk, pop.10000 c.7500BC)
10- First female military pilot
