I'm looking for a full list of luxury resources and their respective effects.

Currently, the only way to know the effect of such a resource is to first grab a few units of it and then go to the empire screen, hover the resource and read the effect. Not super convenient

It would be great to include the list somewhere (the User Guide seems fine by me), eventually including the strategic resources to at least let the player know that there are other strat. resources than glasteel and titanium

Hi,

There are some minor spelling errors in your list (e.g. redsong vs redsang; adamatium vs adamantian) but pedantry aside...

Grassilk +50% city defence cap on empire

Dustwater +50% Dust on city

Hydromiel +4 Food bonus for trade routes on city

Pixie Blood +20% health regen on city

Redsang +100% XP on %UNITRANKHEROTITLE (i.e. heroes)

The descriptions for Blood Crystals and Pixie Blood seem to be the opposite for their effects though...

I came in to make one myself and was pleased to see someone else had also had taken the initiative ahead of me.

One of the reasons I made my steam guide. When I first started I didn't even bother gathering luxury. "They aren't used for anything so clearly they are pointless." Until I looked at the empire screen and saw it. Figured I could help more than just me by sharing it on steam where more people might be likely to see it.
