Island and resources

[mcorey]

I just invaded I am guessing it is a continent as it had a barbarien civ there, but he had access to copper, wheat, wine, and some other seafood. Pretty much a lot of resources I don't have. How do these resources get used and traded with the main part of my civilization on the olther continent?

Thanks.

Either take his city or build your own, then improve the plot with a worker hook up the resouces to your city with a road. That's it. For the seafood just bulid a work boat and have it improve the seafood tile. Assuming you were able to get to that other landmass you already have the appropriate technology for trade routes over coasts (sailing) or over oceans (astronomy).

The only exception is if you're playing as portugal. In that case you can travel oceans with their special UU with optics instead of astronomy, so you'd need astronomy before the rest of your cities had access to those resources.
