Idea: Prime Timber

[Rusty Edge]

Has anyone ever played a mod where there are like 30 new resources? It actually gets to be too much.

I like all the ideas, but having them in the game is not always as good as seeing them on paper.

The only contribution I can make to this, if certain resources only appeared on landmasses where no civs start their game - this would make colonisation much more of an element in every game (except pangaea )

I'd just like to see a luxury resource perhaps three squares in one city site on each continent. For example- tobacco in NA, cocao in SA, tea in Asia, coffee in Africa, Eucalyptus in Ausralia and I have no idea about Europe.
Something that would be very valuable and tradeable because it's scarce.

Maybe on a scenario yes.... and I'd make it tea or spices in S Asia and Silk in Asia.

For long term you could have food resourses in almost every tile and tiles without them produce no food, no more of this eating the grass off grassland tiles. Or beter yet make all foods into improvables, once you find a sourse of wheat you can spread it, and once you import domestic animals you can place ranches for them (so you dont mysteriously loose access to horses just because you no longer import them)

I know maps are usually too small for more resources, but i still miss some resources that really have major influence on the worlds economy.

Idea from Colonization, i would really love to see some Prime Timber (forests with better quality than regular forests, producing more hammers / commerce or whatever.

Timber would be nice. For example, more hammers and double production speed of wooden ships. But what would be the improvement? Not that late game saw, it would be much too late...

And if you chop it, it gives you 2x or 3x hammers? Or something like that.
