I've played about 5 complete games now (to spaceship or conquest victory) and one theme that really pisses me off is that I have yet to have oil, rubber, or uranium on ANY of the land that I own. In each game, I have owned at least one complete continent giving me 1/3 or better of the world and yet none of these resources. Is it just me or is this happening to a lot of people?
Not only that, but my strategic resources run out on my all the time. The game I just finished tonight, I razed a Japanese city and put up my own nearby on top of oil - the only oil tile I had. The Japanese were quickly finished off by the Greeks and Egyptians. Two turns later, my oil runs out!! I now have to TAKE oil from either of those two civs, both equally powerful to me and running further chance of war upsetting my fragile democracy.
