The screenshot kind of says it all.
Now if Oil Springs was the Iriquois capital I could see that the oil tiles might default to this spot but since it's not, I have to assume that this is completely random. Quite strange I think.
(Yes, I could have PSed this...no, I couldn't be bothered perpetrating such a lame hoax.)

Copy and paste this into another browser window: http://www.geocities.com/ihurtyou/oil.jpg
Red Xs are because Geocities blocks links to image files, especially jpgs. Here's the workaround: Rename the file to a .txt extension, then change your URL to reflect the new name. It will display just fine.
And, yeah, three oils next to Oil Springs... probably is a coincidence, since oil tends to be in bunches.

looks like an interesting game...is it on huge map? chinese empire looks rather menacing.... |
Actually the Chinese are light pink (I just crushed them in a 2 turn war). Maybe you're talking about the teal (Americans)? They're prettty powerful but I control most of the world's oil supply. (That screenshot is from earlier in the game.) Yeah, it's a huge map...damn turns take forever!
I started out with a whole continent to myself with an isthmus (good for acces to both seas on either side of me) with the Russians on a continent separated by one square of water from the next one. I pulverized the Russians early in the game and set up my FP in Moscow, which has hills, mountains and grassland around it (pumping out an ICBM every 5 turns from there). The Iriquois are finished now and I'm just a few turns away from what I think may be a cultural victory (1976). The Americans look like they have slightly more than half of my culture so I'm going to have to deal them a blow too. Since they, the Aztecs, the Japanese, and me all have MPP/RoP (we're all of the heavyweights) I'm going to blitz them all just before I hit 100,000 culture. Since I'm the only one with modern armour and mech infantry, they shouldn't have much of a chance, especially since I'll get to move right to the edge of their cities to launch the attack  . If that doesn't go completely as planned , my stockpile of 20 ICBMs should help out

What are those little yellow circles above the Oil tiles ?
And your irrigated plains looks a lot better than mine, I get just water everywhere |
The circles are resource identification tags (MUCH easier to find strategic resources). They were done by Innocence and can be found here: http://apolyton.net/forums/showthre...&threadid=33429
The irrigation is part of Snoopys terrain patch (great improvement over the original terrain). It can be found here: http://apolyton.net/forums/showthre...?threadid=33637
