How common are these 21 reource squares, and should we fight over them?
Last time I checked it only went up to 20, but I found a 21 resource square (not telling where) ------------- I am not amused. |

I found one too. They must be a glitch from biomes. I have also found 22 resource plots, 23, 24, up to 25. ------------- Soon, very soon, my name will become synonymous with chicken alfredo.... mmm.... chicken alfredo.... |

21 sounds normal, but quite rare : 1/1/1/1/21 summed up = 25, like every other "special" square. Not sure exactly what the odds are to see such a square, but I suppose somewhere around 1 in 625 special squares (assuming the "low" numbers are random rolls of 1 to 5, and there's 4 of them, that's 1 out of 5^4 odds of all four rolling a 1 and leaving a 21 standing). Assuming there are, let's say, on average, only 4% special squares (just guesstimating here), on the -500|-500 to 500|500 area, you'd expect only about 64 such special squares to exist (but about 256 of the 20 variety, and around 640 of the 19 variety, etc). Of course, there could be 30 or there could be 100 of the "21" variety, but those previously mentioned numbers are the most likely ones if the assumptions are correct. However... 22 (or higher), now, THAT is highly unusual. This either means one of the resources is actually zero, or for some reason the sum is higher than 25, in which case... I wouldn't exactly bet on them remaining that way for too long. You might want to petition them just in case (better know now for sure than "get surprised" later when they're adjusted). |

Hi all, All plots have 25 Resources in total, divided into 5 types - Wood, Clay, Iron, Stone and Food. The maximum of any one resource type that a city can support is 7, and the minimum (for any square, settlable or not) is one. Therefore, the maximum you can find on the map is 21 of any one type, and that would make each of the other 4 types a "one" square. There are some 21s out there - very rare and very highly prized - but they're non-settlable (ie NPC squares only, so are possible for the Sovereignty Resource Structure bonus only. When I say "very rare", I truly do mean very rare. For example, out of the 4,004,001 squares in the game, there are 41 squares (yes, forty-one out of more than 4 million) that have 21 Food on them. Good luck finding them! But please bear in mind that bots (of any sort, but in this case, mapbots) are strictly forbidden - and their use will be uncovered in the logs, and accounts banned... Best, SC |

| I just have to revive this thread, by bragging about that I actually found one of those 21 tile food farm. Unluckily it is just a decent location. Not good enough for me. :) |

oh, damn, you really found me?  But I agree those woods really get boring, if you have to look at them all day and that 20 food thing, is not at Hora's town, but on other account (as I'm not that silly...)  |

But I'm too resourceful for that- I'll like on the origin of names!
