Special resources outside the city?

[mayford]

Greetings!
Is it possible to somehow use special resources that are outside the city squares?

 

[JPetroski]

I do not believe there is any real way to do that in the base game. You might be able to find ways to use them with lua scripting.

 

[mayford]

That is, in the base game, the resources that were outside the cities are gone?

 

[JPetroski]

In the base game each city has a set of workable tiles within range of it (I want to say 2 or 3 tiles from it).

I assumed your question wasif you could work tiles beyond this range somehow -- you cannot.

 

[mayford]

Ok, thank! I thought that you could somehow get them in caravans.

You can always build another city to prevent a special from going to waste.

 

[stixs]

Nope. Only way is to build another city.

 

[mayford]

It is not always possible to build another city if the resources are close by, otherwise the city squares will intersect.

Intersecting city squares is quite common. If you try to avoid it, you will have to leave a lot of land unused. You will also slow down your game since in the early game, rapid expansion is crucially important.
