Strategic ressource not revealed after patch

[marchueff]

There are some changes related to revelation of strategic resources. For example, niter is now revealed with Military Engineering instead of Gunpowder. I am playing a PBEM and before the patch i had already researched Military Engineering. The first technology i finished after the patch was Gunpowder. But since the revelation of niter has been moved to Military Engineering, niter is not revealed at all after the patch. I eliminated two players early in the game and own a continent by my own. Nevertheless it might have been bad luck and there was simply no niter on my continent. Therefore, i double checked with an old save of the game. The old save was the turn in which i finished Military Engineering. 4 niter resources were then revealed.

There needs to be some check added in case that the revelation of resources is moved from one tech to another with a patch.

There's never any assurance that a game begun before a patch won't be "broken" if continued after applying the patch.

That's right. If it was a single player game i would likely not have recognized this at all. But it is a PBEM that is ongoing since the release of Civ 6 and i was wondering what happened. I just wanted to let you know this issue. I don't expect it to be handeled with a high priority or more likely this type of issue will never be fixed. But from a developer perspective i think it is good to know if something breaks the game. Therefore, i reported it here and go out and win the game even without niter
