I have now been playing on the "balanced" type map and while I still re-roll new starts I seem to have enough resources even with normal resource amounts. Sometimes I will have to place cities specifically to grab some iron or wargs but overall, there are enough to go around. This was not the case on the "mountainous" maps though. While it may have something to do with map sizes, I do think the generator for some of those types is bugged.

Either the software heard me, or the "balanced" map is actually the only one that is balanced. I started a new game and I spawned within reach of clay and crystals. Plenty of resources to settle nearby as well. This still seems an issue for other map types where resources apparently do not spawn.
So, I got this game yesterday and have been enjoying it for the most part. I was a big fan of Fall from Heaven and after getting Civ 5 I realized that it was the only real reason that series was fun, so I came here to support Kael and see what he had created in this game. There are certainly improvements needed which I hope are made either through patches or mods but I do like the flavoring of the game. Unfortunately there seems to be a problem with the resource placements in
I was having the same issue, toggling the "explore" button worked for me to fix it though.
