luxuries : how get ?

[little12]

1) i have some sugar, inside my city radius: it doesn't show up in my city luxury box ? i have a road on this tile. 2) the is a tobacco tile, outside my city radius, a road connects it to my cities: it doesn't show up in my luxury box ? do i have to have some improvement or science to get these luxuries ? thanks

For the tobacco: it either a: needs to be in the radius of the city. or b: it needs to be colonized.

Hope this helps!

Don't forget that linking it to ONE city is not enough. If the roads/harbors don't lead back to your full empire, then only the connected cities receive the benefits. Same for resources. I believe they would show in your resource/luxury box on F2, though?

Also, just having a road on the tile is not enough. The road actually has to connect to something; otherwise there is no path for the luxury to reach the city/cities. So if the road does not connect to other roads that connect to a city (or connect directly to a city), and roads don't connect from that city to your road network for other cities, then no luxury/resource for anyone not connected.

If in doubt, post a screen shot. It is much easier to see what is going wrong that way.

*edit* Also, you need to either control the trade network/roads or have them run through neutral territory to be 'connected'. If they run through another civ, you may not have access. I think that ROP allows a connection though? Never tried that. I always control the full network to my resources/luxuries, with the exception of water tiles, of course.

tobacco and sugar aren't luxuries. All they provide is a gold or something.

This. Check Resources / Bonus Resources in the Civilopedia.

 

[AutomatedTeller]

Sugar provides 1 food/1 gold. Tobacco provides 1 gold.

Neither is a lux resource and neither will provide happiness.

The Luxury resources are:

Dye
Fur
Gems
Ivory
Incense
Silk
Spices
Wine

For the tobacco: it either a: needs to be in the radius of the city. or b: it needs to be colonized.

The resource needs to be within the cultural borders or colonized. It's available only to cities its connected via road or harbor. Need connection to capitals for trade.

Airports can connect as well as long as the tile has a road to town.

what, i though tabbaco and sugar was something like wheat, or fish just adding + to commerce, food or shield on tile that resource filled

 

[Turner]

Yes, that's true. It's a bonus resource, not a luxury or strategic.
