Most incense does come from plants and most of those are found in arid areas. In Civ you don't (yet) have arid as apposed to desert tiles.1) I think incense in desert is ridiculous. As far as I know, incense comes from plants. and desert tile makes incense lame.
2) Why rice with farm provides +1 food while corn and wheat provides +2? (and even potato provides +3)
I have always wondered about this also. There is a building which greatly boosts the amount of food you get from rice.
We don't get the food now because we either throw away the oyster or reseed it for more pearls - in the past I would expect that they would have been eaten as well as provided pearls.4) Pearl provides +1 food, +2 commerce (Am I right? I cannot remeber exactly.)
Do we get food from pearl? I don't think so.
I think new improvement for pearl is needed.
(Because fishing boat gets +1 food with sonar technology)
Because you can't make tools with these until modern times would be my guess.5) Why gem, gold, silver with mine makes -1 production?
Default in Civ IV - there have been mods which make them usable by a city but not passible "MacuPicu" (sp?) for example. Other mods have allowed advance workers to build tunnels making them passible and them allowed mines on them.6) Mountain tiles should be usable.
Looks like an excelent reason to learn how to mod and then post a modmod here for the rest of us to use if we like it. If it were modular we could pick and choose. If it is good and fits with what Zappara wants then maybe it will get included in the base RoM sometime in the future.Of course, I know these things can be changed with xml very easily,
(except new improvement for pearl and 6.)
but I want to hear opinions..
and want to see "official" changes for these
