Whatda? no "exotic metals" (copper?) on my huge map.
huh? waddya mean? I got me richin in those last games. Man did you get gypted?
deafult is listed at 250 per civ ratio, so 25 players thats 1 per Civ. But... ITs all about terrain as you know. .
A double knock out would be selecting a map "young' 'hot' More a good criteria for pickin out woman, Not so good for other type of exotic gems, in this mod anyway.. lol
Anyway ..no tundra no mountains, no metals for you. You have to discover GIA theory first of course and tell ya the truth, my first games I couldn't swing hard enough up the tech tree to get there. I won in another way like culture or conquest just receiveing post modern weapons. (mybe he set the tech rate lower? I just don't know what happend after those patches or why you have all these troubles. I feel for ya man)
Still It makes sence that those exotics would be rare since many metals like tungsten, platinum, and tantalum, are hard to find. Were did you get copper? That crap goes kinda cheap in the yard compared to paladium or good conducting metals . Its too soft.
Mybe you/Kingpin meant Phosphorus bronze. That is more an exotic metal , actually an alloy of copper within tin and a better choice for mechs electrical circuits then unrefiend copper as it has a lower resistance.
These are metals you need to reap out whole mountain ranges or underground labrynthes to get just a few units of production in comparison to gold or nickel bearing ore products of similar size/weight
