What are the resource/commerce caps? Does it mean you can't collect above a certain number of resources?

the cap is shown in all screenshots above your gather rates. you cant collect more than your current cap. you can increase your caps by techs or wonders

you dont get it. you do not stop gathering resources. your resources continue increasing.

it is the rate that your resources increase that are capped

or just "suicide" a couple of them to allow for some military units to be created as you will probably have reached your population limit as well

So the cap is the graph thing above the resources? So I don't understand this. Markos contradicted himself.

So which one? Do I stop collecting resources? Or do I keep on collecting.

Say it says +150 on the cap thing, does that mean that I am gathering at 150%?

Is there an individual cap for each resource or do they all share the same cap?

I don't think that Mark contradicted himself there... It seems to me that the two statements mean the same thing:

There is no cap on the amount of resources you have, but there is a cap on the rate at which you gather the resources. In other words, you can gather thousands, and millions units of wood without any cap, but you cannot gather more than, say 150 units of wood, per whatever time period, say second.

And it also goes along nicely with the screenshots: they show the change in the amount of a resource per a period of time. So, +150 would mean that in this period of time you would gather 150 units of wood, and no matter how many more villagers you assign to it, there will not be more.

As for your second question, look at the screenshots again. Since each resource has a different number, I would think that there is an individual cap for each one. (Though I might be wrong, of course.)

vovansim has the right idea. The cap refers to the RATE at which you can gather, not the amount you can stockpile (which has no practical limit). The amount of your cap is based on your commerce level and applies to all resources. If you see a screenshot with different cap numbers for different resources this is probably due to a nation power, rare resource, or wonder effect. For example, the Egyptians have a bonus cap for food.

I don't think your system meets the minspec for RON. You'll need more than 80MB.

So the "resource cap" is another way of saying "gather rate", right?

Not quite. It would be another way of saying gather rate cap, or gather rate limit
