Luxuries
Does anyone know if Firaxis has released any info on exactly how luxuries affect game play? (i.e. does each different type of luxury that your road network in attatched to give you one more happy person or something)?

Can you sell them for cash on an open market? Any thoughts?

if you have more than one supply of a luxury (say silk) you can trade it with neighbors.

So by "more than one supply" you mean more than one square in your borders that has that resource?

you have to have roads leading to at least 2 of the resource (gathered from screenshots) IF IT IS IN YOUR BORDERS, or a road / colony on it if it is OUTSIDE OF YOUR BORDERS.

all luxuries must be connected to your capital city before they can be traded.

then, to trade with a nation you need a road / harbor / airport linking your two civs.

that makes it available to trade.

you also need an embassy with a civ to trade. without an embassy your civ is limited to peace treaties and simple agreements.

I´d even say: The more "extra" supply of a luxury, the more civilizations you can trade it to.

I hope that Civ III has a little bit of Merchant Prince action going on...
