Rare resources
I wish there was a possibility to make RR's more rare... it seems like every RR's are avaliable in every map... twice...

I don't know about you, but this doesn't look rare to me...


I wish there was an option at the beginning, where you could set how many different RR's the should be in the game, and check an option if an RR should be able occur twice...

Rare resources don't occur twice near each other (as far as I know), and is player dependent (number of players/teams). If there are two of the same resource it was probably meant for the other team.

Well, when they say 'rare resources,' it may mean that they are rare compared to the availability of timber, iron, etc.

I personally don't have a problem with the way it is now.

In my games there's always 8 players, 8 teams...

Is it correct that they are the same for both teams? That would really take a lot of strategy out.

Speaking of which, are the effects of multiple similar rare resources cumulative? If one increases something by 20%, does having 2 of them increase it then by 40%?

Okay, it seems that they aren't cumulative. I have 1 lot of amber and 2 lots of gems (each gives +10 to wealth) yet my wealth income is only +20.

Multiple RR's are useless! Useless, I tells you!!

They are cumulative. I had three papyrus once, and discount on science research was obsence. Also, on sea maps I grab as many whales as I can and can easily out run my opponents navy, allowing me to make invasions before they can react.

As for multiples appearing, I had those three papyrus all on our teams half of the map. OPne was located in a start area, one halway between two teammates, and the third towrds the middle of the map(but well on our side).

My worse RR map was an Arena East vs West that had 2 RRs on each side, plus around ten whales.

I think Map type has something to do with it too

I am pretty sure there is an option to make the resources rarer....

Surely if RoN hasn't got a map editor (at work so I can't check), one will be available in a future patch/expansion, right?

That would sort out any rare resources issues, because you could create your own maps or edit existing ones.

It has a map editor, but I don't like it, since I prefer to be supprised by the map, not knowing what it looks like before you start playing it...
