Resources

[Miraj]

If you know anything about the trade resources that were present in the geographical areas of the BC map during this time please post them here.

[Qarama]

Laodicea = marble

i know that in Rome:TW marble was used as a resource but in M:TW2 not

[Miraj]

Actually, marble is still there. But thanks, laodicea = marble. Cool.

[Qarama]

sorry to ask but during the vanilla game i never looked about the resources. Which resources are in the game? i have a atlas with resources where i can look up.

thanks mirage! i'll add tomorrow some information with the help of my Atlas.
How many resources can you add in an Area?


bye for now.

bye for now.

Not sure what the limit is per regions. Its probably around 5. Thanks for your help Qarama.

[Ahiga]

Pretty stupid that it's hardcoded, but a few edits I would suggest:

Alter Dogs, Chocolate, Cotton, Coal?

In it's stead can be stuff like Lapis lazuli (big in Afghanistan/Pakistan?),

[Beauchamp]

Yes, also their was alot of Turqouise which can be seen in most of the mosques in Iran, Bukhara, Samarqand etc. etc.
All of the lapiz lazuli/ turqouise came from Afghanistan.
Also, other resources:
-Cotton from Egypt/ Silk
-Swords from India
-Muslin (cloth) from Mosul (named for Mosul, but originally from Bangladesh)
-Horses from Iran

[Sinan]

...like Lapis lazuli (big in Afghanistan/Pakistan?),

Big.. no. HUGE.. yes. I'm surprised they're not making toilet roll holders decorated with that stuff. Well someone must have actually.

Jewellry, Chinaware, Precious stones, cotton, silk, spices, sugar, .... there are really endless items, but because you can't ADD anything it's best to look at the resource file (posted above), and then check what resources in that list were available and where.

For Armenia - Region Adana

The portal City of Ayas, known as "the Golden port of Armenia" and "the port of many ships" was one of the biggest cities and a bustling center of international trade and commerce of Armenian Cilicia. Documents, such as agreements, grants and trading treaties found in the archives of Genoa show the extent of trading agreements that existed between states such as France, England, Spain, Italy and City-States such as Genoa, Venice, Pisa, Florence, as well as eastern ties with Persia, India, China, Arabia and as well as many other cities and states from all over the world many of the Genoese and Venetian traders established themselves in the commercial districts of the city-port of Ayas and conducted businesses with traders from all over the world. These traders, in a decree issued as early as in the reign of King Levon II the Magnificent [1199 - 1219], had their own markets, their own clergy and were governed and judged under their own jurisdiction. The location of Ayas in of itself were of vital importance for the growth and expansion of the Kingdom. The revenue generated from Ayas, made up a large part of the total budget of the Armenian State. Precious goods such as carpentry, jewelry, wool, leather, precious stones, exotic metals, weaponry, dies, exotic spices and foods were traded in the world renowned port of Ayas.

the info i found was about Ayas (Portown which lies south of Adana) but the resources here should go for Tarsus and Sis also.

I propose:

Sis = Wool, Dye
Adana = Spices, Grain
Tarsus = Textiles, Cotton
i'll look for more

Can't wait to send merchants to India!

a pity that CA hasn't added more resources

and for armenia proper:

Ani = Wine, Furs (Armenia Proper is said to be the homeland of wine)
Erzurum = Grain, Wool (Random for that area)
Van = Textiles, Cotton (Known for rugs and so is Sivas - according to Marco Polo they made great rugs)

i'll return with info on Edessa, Malatya, Diyarbakir and Sivas

But i can say that the most random resources for this area was agricultural stuff and textiles

[Qarama]

iron= Ankara, Nicomedia, Sivas, Erzurum,

coal= konstant., Nicomedia,

fish= Trabzon,

wine= Smyrna, Attalia

grain= Ankara, Adana, Malatya

timber = Sinop,

textiles = Daryleum, Smyrna, Tarsus, Adana, Sis

cotton = Smyrna, Laodicea, Nicea

wool = Diyarbekir, Van, Mardin

more to come.

it is sad that there are no Olives as resources.

[Ermeni]

it is sad that there are no Olives as resources.

lol - i second that

tx for the info qarama

but honestly there are a very small selection of resources.....

i wonder is it possible to change some of the existing resources....

resources like 'dogs' would be great to replace with some oriental stuff (precious stones) or if myself and qarama would decide Olives

and tobacco is not in our timeframe

amber = i think there isn't much amber in the middle east (most amber is found in norhern europe i think though not sure.....

Sulphur = north of the black sea (Ukraine) and east of the caspian sea (Turkmenistan) .....(ps: sulphur where used in gunpowder)

[Ermeni]

And another thing to note is that all these resources are hardcoded. I cannot add any new natural resource.. I can only modify existing ones.

is it possible to change names on the resources

[Tadzreuli]

Historically Georgia is rich with a tree, silk produqctions, of coal mine, gold and silver. And also on branch of the black sea it has been developed fisheries.

Here resources which should be on a map of Georgia:

tree
gold
silk
coal
silver
fish

-------

P.S.
You probably remember a legend about Argonavtes and a gold fleece...
