question - city tile

[soren]

Is the output (food/shileds/gold) produced by the city tile dependant on the terrain/resources on that tile?

I know the city square always starts with 2 food, 1 shield, and 1 gold. I'm pretty sure you do get a river commerce bonus, when applicable. Also, I read somewhere that if you build on a BG tile, that you get the extra shield after size 6. I don't know that you can take advantage of any food resources in this way though. I have also not seen any benefit when I settle on an iron, for instance.

Edit: just checked a game save and the one city that's built on a resource (a horse), is getting one more gold, (the horse bonus) than I can otherwise account for.

Ok, here goes: The shields may vary dependent on the square. If you would normally get two shields (iron, coal, furs on a forest/plains) then you will get two shields (or more). If you are an agricultural civ, you will get a bonus food for the city square, however, this will not show up if you are in despotism unless: you are on a floodplain, you are on a grassland next to a fresh source of water.
