When a resource's land is owned, but has no firm contructed on it, there is no sufficient resource indicator. This occurs when you demolish a resource firm but not sell the land, and also when the firm is destroyed by fire in a random event.
Using timber as an example, only the minimap will show a 'T', which is not sufficient, because occasionally the overlapping resources are not legible nor precise.
I believe there should be an easy indicator that there is a resource there when the land is owned but no building is constructed. I believe the standard "TIMBER" (or other resource name) would be sufficient, and could be colored green to maintain consistency with the green "T" on the minimap to indicate when the resource is owned. -- but the brilliant green text on green grass and green forest would look a bit odd, so of course some other color could be used for the owned resource indicators.
Also, when mousing over the owned land, I think it would be nice to say what resource is in that one square; the only indication that there is a resource is that the land value jumps up by a factor of 50 in that single square.
That would be great, thanks!
