Well that never worked anyway, so you're not losing anything. I tried to set a bonus resource as a requirement for some of my buildings, and the game wouldn't recognize it. So they're just saving people from dissapointment as I see it. You could always convert it to a luxury or strategic resource. Apparently you can have as many strategic resources as you like, they just don't show up in the city screen. I understand there's a problem with luxuries though, if you have to many.

	Ok heres an answer Support Apolyton, buy Alpha Centauri

Simple enough, put the resource Icon as a terrain resource and as a technology required resource in the same square as the same icon picture, that was I can have wheat affect the square for food etc etc, and effect the requirement of wheat for thatching
I knew If I slept on it long enough I would get out of the cage
