Increased resource gain?

[_Shantak]

Is there a way to increase the amount of resources on a map? This game is fun when you luck out on a map, but mostly the amount of resources you get is way too low for the game to really progress fast enough.

ive never realy looked at that.but i think with any map it can be done by slow steady progress.in the games i have played ,it is whe i start veturing out to fast i come to a quick demise.

Select the Empire age. The timeframe determines what tiles the map is populated with and their frequency. Empire = cities and towns. Dark ages is not going to have a bunch of cites, and no capitol.
