Metal bars without the ore?
« on: May 20, 2008, 05:15:00 pm »

I've noticed recently that I can order metal bars from the dwarflands that I can't get the ore for. For example, I can't order native Aluminum ore, but I can get Aluminum bars. Shouldn't there be a check for that?

I'm not going to mess around with anything like that until I get to resource tracking in the caravan arc, and settlement locations based more on what's around than just random positions which then look at materials.  As it stands, it would probably screw up the metal distributions in the civs too much if I just throw in a quick check for ore availability.
