I have a brief question about strategic resources in Civ 3, which relates to their appearance being based on the terrain.
Do strategic resources spawn at the beginning of the game and remained hidden until unlocked by researching the necessary technology, or do they spawn on the map once any civ researches that tech?
Specifically, I am wondering if clearing forests/jungles early in the game reduces the chance of getting a Rubber resource later in the game, because you can clear a forest/jungle that already has Rubber and the bonus remains, but if you have a spot that would have Rubber in the future, and you clear it before discovering the right tech, does it still spawn there or is it gone forever? See also, marshes and oil.
Thank you
