Bonus Resources[]

Note the difference between improved and unimproved yields. For instance, Bananas have no base yield but give 3 food and 1 gold when improved. Alternatively, Wheat only gets the 1F from a Farm.

Strategic Resources[]

A Strategic Monopoly is achieved by having more than 25% of the map's quantity of that Resource. A Global Monopoly requires over 50% of the Resource.

Unlike Luxuries, the number on each tile matters. Russia has an easier time getting these as their Resources are worth double.

Some buildings can produce strategic resources.

Aluminum - Hydroplant, Wind Plant, Spaceship Factory
Coal - Seaport, Train Station, Factory, Coal Plant (x2)
Horses - Agribusiness (x2)
Iron - Mine Field
Uranium - Nuclear Plant

Luxury Resources[]

Includes More Luxuries' Resources. You can use the East India Company to boost you to the 50% Global Monopoly Bonus as it is the only Building now that doubles Resources.

Indonesia's Unique Ability and Unique Building (Candi) make an Indonesian Luxury nearby. Their Yields seem as if they were already boosted by a Building.

A Global Monopoly requires over 50% of the Resource.
