Hi all, if you've read any of my recent posts, I've recently switched from playing Immortal to Deity (and even if you haven't read my posts, I still made the switch). I've played about 15-20 Deity games now, and have about 5 wins. I've won with Inca (my favorite Civ), Spain, France, and Poland (and I now understand why some call them OP).
Different civs, different VC, but one common theme. Every freakin time I hit Industrial, there isn't one single coal resource in my territory. With only 1-2 exceptions, my CS allies have no freakin coal. Yeah, in my Polish Domination Victory, my WHussars had claimed a few foreign coal cities, but they were puppets or razed, so that cost time. If you have zero coal in your own turf and none in CS turf, you waste time and resources getting that evil non-green energy resource, which significantly slows your progress towards ideologies (I state the obvious).
Same thing has been happening with oil. No matter my terrain, and only about 1/3 of my games have been Incan, I never get any oil.
20 games is not a terribly small sample size, so I'm now detecting a trend. I thought I had a good idea of what types of terrain would produce such resources, but apparently I'm mistaken.
Question: Is this random bad luck, or is there some trick to making sure you or your CS allies have these cute little tiles?
