I've heard Firaxis talk about oil a few times, and I doubt they would leave it out.

From the Official Civ 3 Website

quote: Luxuries, such as spice, silk, and diamonds, increase the happiness of your people. Resources, like iron, oil, and uranium, allow the construction of specific units and buildings.

Here's my guesses at figuring out the Baltimore city-management screen from Gamespot:


Taking a look at the resources in the top right, they appear to be
(top row from left to right)
horses (or deer)
elephants (or ivory)
fish
cattle
gems (or diamonds)
???
wheat
wine (or grapes).

(bottom row left to right)
coal?
gold
oil?
spices (look like salt, pepper, etc)
paper
???
thread (or cloth)?
???

Most are obvious though for a few I'm at a loss as to what they could be

Does anyone know whether these "resources" are permanent markers on the landscape or if they "die out" or are exhausted after a certain number of turns? (e.g. you build a mine for Iron, does it run out after you've been mining the same spot for 500 years?)

Yeah, incense and dye are in one of the Gamespy screenshots. The same screenshot also includes ivory, and actually I think that's what "elephants" actually is. The icon you see on the screen is an elephant, but the actual luxury is probably ivory.

You forgot coal and gold, they are both in the screenshots, maybe silver is too, but I don't know!!!

I know that coal is on of the resources, and gold is most likely a luxury!!!

You can add those to your list Roman!!!
