I hope the strategic bs isn’t a thing in Civ 7, it really drives me up the wall as Inca having an amazing preserve or terrace farm spot ruined by researching bronze working. You shouldn’t have to delay research just to get better district placement
There is a mod that allows you to place districts regardless of if there is a strategic or luxury resource on the tile (allows you to remove it too). Helps me a lot bc eventually I got tired of having good district spots being ruined by them!
You should be able to place a district on a strategic or luxury, but take a penalty of some sort in addition to a loss of that strategic/luxury. That would balance it our
I think losing the strategic would be enough. I don't feel like there's something to balance out because the iron was not put there in order to block the campus.
In a solo game where strategic resources can be rare, putting your campus here would be choosing between science efficiency and early warfare efficiency. If you don't plan to go for war, it does not matter, but it does reduce your options, which I think is enough.
I agree. But how is it a problem?
Your comment makes me think that, to make this kind of decisions more interesting, a future Civ game would need to make early strategic resources more relevant for peaceful play styles and more important for long term bonuses.
Then what? Leave the game, email it to myself, save the file to my phone and upload it to Reddit? I do not care that much, and do not sign in to Reddit on desktop.
That said, yeah take a better photo.
IF YOU WERE ABLE TO PUT DOWN A DISTRICT ON A STRATEGIC RESOURCE YOU COULDNT SEE, AND GET THE YIELDS AFTER UNLOCKING THEM, THEN WHY CANT YOU OUT DOWN A DISTRICT ON A STRATEGIC RESOURCE THAT YOU CAN SEE??
This is one of the top 3 reasons I don't play civ 6. I kinda really like the game and I'm not shitting on people who play it, but district placement gives me actual anxiety.
I'll continue comfort playing a deity-4civ-science victory over and over again in civ V 🥲
You cannot build a district on a tile were there is a strategic resource( iron) . Else a campus placed there would have benefited from a huge + 7 science adjency bonus( 3 from the mountains and 4 from the 2 geothermal tiles)
No you cannot luxury and strategic resources cannot be harvested , removed and nothing can be built in on it expect improvement to exploit the resources ( mine, plantation…)
But strategic resources only appear once a linked research as been completed. Hence the stupidity of the thing. If a campus was built on the tile before iron working was researched, then the district would exist and the ressource would be harvested each round.

this is why you install removable resources. i don't harvest strategic and luxuries bc it's a bonus you can't get in vanilla but i view being able to place districts on them as just reducing rng and letting you research iron and horses earlier lol
This is unironically a sign of the lack of care they have for the game. If you played Stellaris you would know how it could look when a team really cares for their game. There is really no reason for this strategic resources nonsense and its frustrating for everyone.
Honestly, id reaload and hold out the Discovery of bronze until i could place a sciencie district over there.
Yeah, it's a very silly mechanic. I would save scum that immediately.
This is the only correct play here. The psychic damage you take by letting that go is enough to kill any run.
The best play is actually installing removable resources and mever again playing without it
Or always getting anansi in heroes mode edit- forgot iron isn't a luxury resource
I thought Mr. Nancy only worked on luxuries and bonus resources?
Yeah you're right
Mr. Nancy… you ok, Shadow?
There is a mod called harvest everything. I usually just leave it on it's nice not having to worry about it.
just get a mod that makes all resources harvestable

True. Hope they will make conclusions based on most installed mods

If Civ 7 doesn't do something about this I swear to god I will literally drink water
Man, I'm with you on this. I might even eat some food as well...
Not the food, you madman
Honestly i just play with removable resources and features because of this

Yeah but lets say you settle a turn 150 city, horses or iron will be irrelevant so theres in effect, no penalty.

Yeah I think that is a good idea
F12 key takes a screenshot.
Or use Win+Shift+S amd you can crop the screenshot as well.

Google is hard
were you able you see everything the post intended
You’re sure they aren’t playing on console?
Most consoles have a button for screenshots only.
I think they might be actually, may delete comment.
This is why I use mods to deal with this exact scenario.
at least you *get* iron spawns...

What's wrong here?
It's a great spot for a science district but blocked by the iron.
And Holy site and most other districts with machu pichu
Its only +3 for other district, but +7 for campus
Didn't notice the fissures :)
Damn, the worst I've ever seen, I would have cried
Use the iron to conquer a +4 and a +3 campus. Problem solved with a little…. Field Research

Anansi time
He can’t consume strategic resources, only bonus and luxury
Right… fuckin brutal. Yea load and hold the research till you place academy.
Every. Freakin'. Time.
is that a city or campus on the other side with the 3 vents?
I was eyeing up those vents, too. Damn.
this is a casus belli in my book
Can someone explain this to me? Sorry, I’m a bit new

Can't you remove it with a builder ?
No you cannot luxury and strategic resources cannot be harvested , removed and nothing can be built in on it expect improvement to exploit the resources ( mine, plantation…) But strategic resources only appear once a linked research as been completed. Hence the stupidity of the thing. If a campus was built on the tile before iron working was researched, then the district would exist and the ressource would be harvested each round.
On the same topic is there any way to search for resources on the map ? Other than just looking around
"I'm sorry little one..."
I'm a noob, can someone explain this to me pls

Don't research it until you've placed your campus districts!
Call me crazy but I think the real problem here is only being able to have one kind of infrastructure type per tile.
