Is this doable?

[Quasar1011]

I wanted to put a new tech in the late game called "fracking". I had the idea that it could reveal additional oil resources. Maybe half could show up with refining, and half with fracking. Is this doable in Civ 3? If not, perhaps something like this could be incorporated into a future version. There are likely other resources that could have more advanced techs that would reveal additional resource sites.

I think it is possible however you would have to make a second oil resource? I do not remember if units can have either or requirements when it comes to resources.

 

[Ozymandias]

You cannot have either/or resource requirements. The usual workaround is to give two otherwise identical units the different requirements, while just adding a space to the name of one (e.g., "Panzer" and "Panzer_")

Best,

Or to use Steph's expanded editor (the link to the up-to-date version is in his sig) which allows several units with the same name - just a reminder.
