Civilization Revolution (original) — Special Resources (raw capture, PARTIAL)

Game: Sid Meier’s Civilization Revolution (2008), the ORIGINAL. Sources (Tier-1): resource→tech unlock map derived from the captured tech table’s “Makes Available” column; mechanic + one confirmed magnitude from WebSearch (2026-06-22). Provenance / where the missing numbers live:

• https://civilization.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_resources_in_CivRev (the full per-resource bonus table — 403 to auto-fetch; open in a browser and paste to complete this file)
• per-resource pages exist too, e.g. https://civilization.fandom.com/wiki/Game_(CivRev)
• CivRev2 has a SEPARATE list: https://civilization.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_resources_in_CivRev2

Mechanic (grounded)

• Special resources are permanent map landmarks, visible to all players once the tile is explored.
• A resource’s bonus is locked until the prerequisite tech is researched (the tech that “Makes Available” it). Once unlocked, it adds a flat yield to the tile for whoever works it.
• India (Gandhi) starts with access to ALL resources — bypasses every resource tech-gate (a confirmed civ bonus; strategically large).
• Confirmed magnitude: Game (unlock: Feudalism) = +3 food. (Pattern: resources give a flat +N of one yield, consistent with the “one yield type per tile” terrain rule.)

* “Likely yield” columns are inferences by resource nature, NOT grounded — do not trust until the Fandom table is pasted in or the bonuses are measured on the live game. Only Game (+3 food) is confirmed.
