Adventure Research - Anyone else experience this?

from Elemental Forums

There are a few areas you can research under the adventure tree that show you new resources throughout the land. I'm always on the lookout for new food resources, so I research this pretty early every game. However, I'm finding that the new resources only show up in my areas of influence and no where else. So a twilight bees thing may show up around my city, but if I explore elsewhere, I'll never see another one. This has become especially troublesome when I have already researched these areas and then build a new city because these resources are never available at new city locations.

So has anyone else experienced this? I'd rather just have someone tell me I'm wrong.

I think that's how it works. Nothing complicated in it. It's better research it when you have 3 or 4 towns.

I think it's designed this way so that only you benefit from your own research.  Research-spawned quest locations, etc, work the same way iirc.  Maybe this could be solved by allowing these kind of techs to be researched repeatedly (like the existing "+10%" repeatables)?

I think those resources should be generated at the start of the game, just not visible to you until you research the proper tech.

If that is the case, it seems it would make sense that this area should be available for research indefinitely. It should always be an option in the adventure tree, and when you build new cities you can research it again. I may be way off-base with that, but I'm still figuring the game out.

Makes sense Jinnes. Perhaps they only become visible to the person who's got the appropriate research, but they should be all over the map.

(like what pizza said)

Absolutely.  If they are only spawned in your area of influence when you research them...that has to be an oversight, right?  A lot of these are very early in the tech tree.
