Yields

Revision as of 05:03, 28 February 2025 by Lord Emsworth (talk | contribs) (Lord Emsworth moved page Resources to Yields: The game consistently uses the word "Yield" for these currencies, and has a different meaning for the word "Resource". Moving the page allows the Resources page to be dedicated to what the game calls "Resources" (tile bonuses like Sorghum or Marble).)

This page lists an overview of the types of resources that can be found. The game distinguishes between tradeable, non-tradeable and per-city resources. Both tradeable and non-tradeable resources are global, so they can be accessed and used anywhere in your empire. In addition, tradeable resources can be bought or sold using money, but non-tradeable resources can not be bought or sold. Per-city resources are specific to the city they are generated in, and cannot be transferred from one city to another city.
