Now for some silly suggestions !
Too much Coal - atmosphere rots Copper.
Damp climate - rusts Iron.
Too much Coal and damp climate - acid rain eats Marble.
Widespread allergies - rejection of Wheat, Corn and all seafood.
Widespread diabetes - refusal of Sugar.
Vehement animal rights and vegan groups - rejection of all animal products.
Anti-nuclear lobby - refuses Uranium.
Extreme puritanical majority - rejection of all luxury resources.
That covers everything except Aluminium and Oil, I think ! But wouldn't it be horrible if any of these conditions were actually in the game ?
PS - oh yes, Stone.
