Was it me hallucinating, or did i read somewhere that there will be some equivalent unit for ocean as the worker is to land? Which means improvements made over water tiles - ie lake, ocean, sea, and all that jazz, which i think those three cover it all.
ocean improvements?

i dont believe that there will be a "worker unit" for the sea.. but you can build improvements for resources such as whales and fish.

wow..it looks like there pulling some old ideas out(call to power)...i think it would be very cool...and this may also help the futile navy i always complain about..if you have to protect these units..it would force a more important navy....yeaaah 
although..its just a start i hope..

yes..i forgot about that...hopefully that if there are things just out of reach...you dont have to move your planed city site(due to resource) to exess those luxs....hmmm...
actually, i don't know if it will make unaccessable tiles useful. It might be something along the lines of irrigation, upping the amount of health or benefit from that tile as it is worked by a citizen. Then again, it might be a like a colony, providing benefit when the improvement is built on the tile, but we will just ahve to wait and see.

Damn. I always hated the kelp farms and such in SMAC and PtW, they look damn ugly.

You can see oil in the ocean here: http://www.civfanatics.net/~civrules/Article/Resources/Oil.jpg
And it has been stated that it is provided by building offshore platforms, which are now a worker action and not an improvement.

yes...what Ogmoir said.lol 
it sounds like a pretty cool system.. its never made sense that an offshore platform increased production...yet didnt give any oil(there main purpose)

i sure as hell hope soo...i belive resources are gonna be a bit more abundant in civ 4...i think they added oil to the oceans becuase it only makes sense...what im really hoping is that to protect this oil resource..the navies of the AI will stepped up and a lil smarter. but as far as land oil...im pretty sure the same chart shows the terrain that the resources are found...and i belive that land terrain is some of the locations.(and the use of oil came before the ability to drill the oceans for it.)
