Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

If you're playing on a warm wet world, then it is very likely that there are no deserts or tundra, the only terrain which can contain oil. Luckily there is a solution.

Make lots of pollution so that global warming happens. Sometimes plains turn to desert. Sometimes deserts contain oil. Sometimes.

Or use Marines as your main attackers, carried in Galleons...

Good luck

Support Apolyton, buy Civilization: The Boardgame

Having oil appear only in deserts or tundra is patently unrealistic. Oil should also be found in hilly terrain, and I tend to throw in plains for good measure (the TEXAS factor).
