	Future Resources? Got spare money?

I just wanted to know if we have considered that we need to secure some land (by building more cities longer from our capital) so that we vont get in trouble in the future when coal, oil and rubber are revealed on the map?
I've seen that civfanatics have put their cities longer apart than we have (probably to get more land). Of course it has the downside that they have more corruption.
With no resources we could have a really hard time, as resources imo is THE most important thing in th game.

	Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

We will be slowly expanding. I plan on this whole continent being ours in another 100-140 turns.

Hagbart, I think placing cities NOW to secure resources that will be available in ~100-250 turns would be a bit premature. Since we plan to conquer the whole of our landmass anyway, I would leave that for later...

The city placement of our rivals here is actually what makes them so "weak" (or "not strong"). They have been wasting precious fine land, whereas we have been squeezing every single food, shield, and commerce out of the crappy starting land we've got. That's why our economy is (perhaps much) stronger than any of theirs.

The next resource to appear on the will be saltpeter... by that time (if PtWDG is any indication), the map will look VERY different in this game.
