Buildings VS resources

[umkqq 0]

Hi!

Just trying to figure out.

Rulebook says :

"Once a building marker is placed on a square, the icons on the

building completely replace any icons that the square had."

 

No mentions about resources.

 

FAQ says:

 

Q: Can a scout gather icons and/or resources from a square

in another city’s outskirts? What if the square contains a

building or a wonder?

A:

A scout can gather resources from a square in another city’s

outskirts, even if that square contains a building or wonder. If

the scout sends those icons and resources to a different city,

the original city cannot also use those icons and resources.

 

So... Does building/great person/wonder remove resource (Wheat, Silk, Iron) from the tile???

Again... not icons (Trade, Culture), but resource.

 

And on more question...

How many troops can defend a city?

 

Thanks in advance!

Hey,

 

Scouts gather what building(not military bonuses)/wonder(culture icons, not the effect)/great person(icons only too) provide and not what is underneath. I think the main confusion is in the words icons/resources. Resource is an icon too. Focus what is on the top layer of the map and there will be no misunderstandings

 

 

As for combat hand size, for city it is usually 6(base 3, +3 for defending city), unless you have tech that increases it(communism gives +1, and another one - computers if i remember right 5 coins/+1 unit). You can not station flags in city (it may not end its movement in city center), however you can get +2 military bonus if you sacrifice a flag.
