	New Resourse -- Fish Mining Tired of ads?

Here's a screenshot from the Mesopetamia Conquest. I was the Sumerians and I had cleared a Wetland that had a fish bonus. I was then able to mine it.

Must be that new 'Agricultural' trait that lets the Sumerians mine fish!!!


Now, if I could just RailRoad it!!!!!

yeah, in mesopotamia fish swim in the marsh. when i first played it, i wondered if it was going to be in the normal game, but alas, it is not.

Yes, if you check the standard rules (which I did since I wanted to mod things here and there), you see that marsh tiles in the game can have oil, game, rubber as well as fish on them. I personally have not seen the fish tile in my subsequent games, but I know it is a possibility.

yeah, i checked the editor, and it lists fish... but i generated 10 huge maps warm and wet, and didnt see any fish. odd.

In my epic game there was a Jungle tile that had a banana (tropical fruit) on it, and a few turns later it turned into a grassland tile with a banana on it. Unless I mysteriously cleared the jungle and somehow the banana decided to stay I don't see how that happened. There wasn't an oppurtunity for global warming to effect it either.

Yes, I too have mined bananas. In fact, These bananas are fortified w/ vitamins and IRON (or at least barbed wire)


I didn't want the enemy to steal any of my resources!!!



I suppose that Banana Mines wouldn't be quite as smelly as Fish Mines. (At least they'd smell 'fruity')

i spose that you could go and irrigate a square with uranium to contaminate your entire irrigation network, maybe that's what that cure for cancer wonder is for

You could always mine Horses, or Wheat... But I never thought of it in this way until now.

Great thread - we need these every now and again. I would rate it 10/10 if the rating system was still in place.

Yeah, but cleaning the mushy residue off your picks after mining those bananas and fish is much fun.

I've played a lot and I've never seen fish randomly placed on swamps in the epic game. Is there a chance its a bug .. they left it out of world generation ... or maybe forgot to carry the "1" somewhere so it appears 1 000 000 000:1 times

Thaddeus,

The reason that you haven't seen it yet may be due to the resource scarcity in C3C. Perhaps you might increase the likelyhood of (at least) Bonus Resources in the editor. IIRC, all resources are about 1/3 less available in this version. (I forget the actual number but if you multiply the 'appearance factor by something like 1.3 in the editor, it will bring it up to PTW settings.)

C3C is like 'PTW Light'--all the flavor but with 1/3 less resources!

True but I see oil appearing in swamps at least twice per normal sized map, and rubber ... well less often. But I've never seen fish ... so strange ... I even went back to my saved games and scanned them quickly but to no avail. So alas ... no underground lakes for poor Alex lol

EDIT: See plenty of game, though ...

This was possible in past versions of Civ III too, just took a lot more effort. From Moonsinger's CFC thread on how to railroad fish:

Ok, I wasn't the first to road fish. But Moonsinger had to wait until he discovered Nukes. I accomplished this in the Ancient Age!!!!

(or did I get some help from the so-called 'Ancient Astronaughts'???)

I agree that there are vast differences between fish mines and just irrigated fish.

(aren't most fish irrigated naturally?)
