Resource Manager Ala Civ/CTP1

Whatever happened to that square-by-square control screen for your city's radius, like in SMAC, CivI, II, and III, and Call to Power 1?

I'm sure you know what I mean, the resource manager window, I really found that handy. Does it exist in CTP2, or have they taken it out?

thanks.

It doesnn't exist anymore. In CtP2, all the resources in the city's radius are automatically collected. As the city gets bigger, the city radius expansd though, so its not completely pointless.
The efficiency at which you use the resources collected depends on how many citizens you have (1 citizen gets you 1/8 of the total in the first radius, 2 citizens gets you 1/4 etc.) and how many specialists you have. eg. If you have 3 citizens, and make one a farmer, you gather the resources as if you had just 2 citizens, + 20 food from the farmer.
