I posted a link in the guides forum, however this map is so handy it deserves its own topic. There is an excellent resource map available online. It shows the fertility levels of all provinces, what special resources they have, starting allegiance, and which clans own them. It makes strategic planning much easier. Wambat is holding a weekly raffle giveaway of Steam games to promote the Fourth Age Total War. Resources that are invisble on the map.

Introduction
The Second Punic War is, arguably, the most sweeping, destructive war of ancient times. It marked the end of a contest for power in the Mediterranean - the establishment of Roman hegemony over the entire Italian peninsula and deep into Iberia.
It was a hard fought victory for Rome, however; Hannibal Barca’s campaign in Italy, following his daring crossing of the Alps, nearly brought Rome to ruin. Catastrophic defeats at Trebia, Lake Trasimene and Cannae shattered any faith Rome’s allies had in them, and almost imploded the Republic.
The brilliance of Hannibal as a strategist and tactician cannot be denied; he came closer than anyone else ever had or would to toppling Roman power, but his failure was underestimating Rome’s ability to endure. After weathering the worst of Hannibal’s assault, Rome struck back under the brilliance of Scipio and finally, on the field at Zama, Carthage’s dream came crashing to an end.
Many accounts of the Second Punic War come from Polybius and Livy, neither of whom were alive when the events they describe took place and wrote only from Rome’s perspective. Polybius in particular, is famed for being openly critical of Carthage (he was allegedly present for the final destruction of the ancient capital), and in particular the Barcids, so his accounts are heavily biased towards Rome and can almost be considered propaganda.
Although the power plays of Julius Caesar, and the formation of the Roman Empire under Octavian, were still many years away, Rome’s victory over Carthage and its confederates laid the foundations for Rome the superpower.

Adding Resources In RTW

Step One: Adding It Internally
This step is required for adding and creating all types of resources.Make a backup of RTWdataworldmapsbasedescr_regions.txt. Now open the file. Inside it you'll find a list of all provinces in the game and their properties. This is what a typical entry will look like:Venetia |
Patavium |
gauls |
Veneti |
13 198 117 |
slaves, glass, textiles, dogs, pigs, italy |
5 |
14 |
Step two: adding it graphically
This step is not required for hidden resources. It is recommended for trade resources and mounts.Make a backup of RTWdataworldmapscampaignimperial_campaigndescr_strat.txt and open the file. When you scroll down a bit you'll find a list of resources. This is what a typical entry will look like:Rome 2 Resource Effects
resource | gold, | 45, | 135 |
resource | gold, | 93, | 86 |
resource | marble, | 93, | 86 |
Step Three: Hidden Resources
This step is required for adding entirely new hidden resources only.Make a backup of RTWdataexport_descr_buildings.txt. Inside the file you'll find settings for all buildings in the game. At the top of the file you'll find a list of all hidden resources that can be used. Simply add your own to the list, like this:hidden_resources sparta rome italy coastalNot doing this will not cause a crash, but it will cause the hidden resource to be unusable and it will also cause an error message when exiting the game.Step Four: Models And Skins
This step is required for adding entirely new trade resources only.In RTWdata you will find a file named descr_sm_resources.txt. Inside this file you will find a list of all resources and the models and skins that they use on the campaign map, as well as their trade value. Here's what a typical entry will look like:To add an entirely new resource, you'll have to give it an entry in here as well. It is easiest to copy an existing one and adjust it to your needs. This is what the lines in each entry mean:
type - The name of the resource, which is used in the game file as well as in-game.
trade_value - This sets how valuable the resource is for trade. The higher this value, the more it will add to trade income. A value of 0 here means the resource won't be traded.
item - This sets the model that is used to display the resource on the campaign map.
icon - This is the icon that will be used for this resource on the trade summary scroll.

There is no line to set the texture (aka skin) of the resource. The texture files are located in RTWdatamodels_strattextures and are named after the following format: resource_[name].tga.dds. Like this:
resource_salt.tga.dds
You can change this texture with an image-editing program. However, you have to remember that textures may look weird when they are wrapped around a model to which they aren't suited.
