  Single square with given resource is enough for whole nation.

  Extra resources can be tradet.

  Strategic resources are required in order to build some units.

  Each different luxury resource increases city happiness by one if no 
marketplace is present. With marketplace first 2 resources produce one 
happiness each, third and fourth resource produce 2 happiness, fifth and 
sixth produce 3. (Somebody please correct me if I remembered wrong)

  In order to be used, resource must be connected to city. Implementing 
this would require trade network code to be present.

  In order to connect resource to city, one may build colony (part of 
trade network code really)

  Each strategic resource type is visible only after relevant technology 
is discovered.

  Resources I would implement as addition to terrain.ruleset. Each 
terrain type could contain one luxury and one strategic resource. I 
don't know if this is completely civ3 compatible (does it have more than 
one luxury/strategic resource for some terrain type), but it should be 
close enough for anybody. If there is no resources given, everything 
should work just like now.
