Resources problem with Coal

[eMarkM]

Some other resources show up in the wrong type of tile too. Anyone else have this problem?

Was it cleared jungle? Coal can appear in jungle and I believe if you cleared it, it would still appear. Otherwise, perhaps a bug. All SR have been where they should be in my games.

No resource has a 'specific' land type that you will find it in. I think, at least with the strategic resources, they can be found in any of four different types of land.

And I think it's good and interesting that the strategic resources tend to be bunched up. more lifelike.....

There are only a few spots on earth where one can find oil or coal or iron or uranium.....

We like the new resourse model. The way you can only see them after the advance. The clustering (which really is more "natural"). However, it was implied they could be exhausted, but seldom would. To that I say "HA!".
For us it has been a constent struggle to build our units before our Iron is depleted. I may have to "tweak" the game if I hear the same complaint from others.

Actually I think it was cleared jungle. I wouldn't have thought the mechanics would work that way, but I can live with it.
Does this mean that we can modify any terrain with a resource in it without risk of losing the resource? Also, is it possible to level hills, create hills etc..?
