Does anyone know how this is determined? For example how many oil patches are there on the map? Or how many dyes? I heard somewhere that it is equal to the number of starting civs. 7 civs = 7 irons in the game, 7 saltpeper, 7 ivorys, etc... Is this true? I just checked it on my current game map:
Strategic Resources:
Civ | Rubber | Oil | Coal | Saltpeper | Iron | Horses |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Iroquois 3 1 1 2 1 1
Babylon 2 3 3 3 3 1
Japanese 1 1 1 1 3 1
Germans 1 2 2 1 1 6
-------------------------------------------------------
TOTAL: 7 7 7 7 8 9
Luxuries:
Civ | Wines | Furs | Inc. | Spice | Ivory | Silk | Gem | Dye
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Iroquois 1 2 1 2 1 1 1 0
Babylon 1 0 3 0 1 1 1 2
Japanese 2 1 0 1 1 1 1 1
Germans 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1
-----------------------------------------------------------------
TOTAL: 5 4 4 4 4 4 4 4
Note: no unconnected resources
That game had 7 starting civs and the current year is 1950 (approx). It's possible that some resources were exhausted and new ones were discovered which alters the numbers but the number 7 still appears quite often. But it seems that there are fewer luxury resources than strategic resources.
In another game with 5 starting civs I had the following:
5 uranium
5 aluminum
5 rubber
6 oil
5 coal
6 saltpeper
8 iron
9 horses
4 dyes
4 incense
4 ivory
3 gems
4 furs
4 silk
2 wines
3 spices
Has anyone tried counting those? I'm curious what the formula is.
sorry about the formatting...it didn't turn out the way I intended it...
