I haven't experimented by doing this myself; I didn't want to possibly waste a good resource. But what happens when you build a city directly on top of a resource tile? Do you retain the resource? For example, right at the game start, if I build a city on top of a Gems resource tile, do I automatically get a Gems Luxury (even though I obviously haven't Researched Mining yet)? Or do you not get the resouce until you have Mining? Or do you never get the resource, instead getting just what the underlying terrain would provide?
Related secondary question: Given that you do get the resource automatically (either immediately or when the appropriate tech is available), has anyone ever seen a late-appearing resource (Horses, Iron, Coal, Oil, Aluminum, Uranium) appear inside the city center tile?
