	Problem with bonus resources and civ3 mods Inflate your Upload Space

Well this happend in 1.29 and now 1.04 ptw. I am using the balancer mod and for some reason bonus resources do not show up at all. Under 1.29 there was 1 of each bonus resource. I believe the problem is that with the addition of other resources, stratigic and luxury. Since many of them have high appearance ratios, I beleive that when a map is randomly generated it decides not to put in the bonus resources. What is odd is that there is plenty of empty space for them, but I guess not as much as if it were unmodded.

I believe a simple solution would be to allow an appearance ratio for bonus resources, and let it go much higher then that of stratigic or luxury. Also if this is done, try to get it so the bonus resources dont clump as they do if they are luxury resources.

There are other solutions such as changing the bonus resources to luxury or stratigic, but then you get the clumping (like maybe 10 cows next to each other)

As your problem is about mods, I suggest you to post it in the Creation Forum. You should have better odds to get an answer.

	Full PM-box? Change here!

Could someone move it then? I think that would be best, instead of me reposting it there. Although I think it is a problem that Firaxis should look at. I doubt a modder could change this unless they changed the code of the civ3 files.
