oh, ok thanks. I was thinking it was like civ5 where I would get whatever is within my influence. Its only the exact tile where you place your city. Huh, kinda odd. I suppose I should start over and pay attention to that tile only, lol.
The only time I see the concept of essence is before I place my city. After my city is placed (with its influence border supposedly encompassing essence resources) there is no essence in the city. The city details show no essence. Is there an upgrade I am supposed to place to suddenly "gain essence"? Why is there never any no matter what? I can't find any answer to this in the manual or tutorials. Can anyone help me here? <
