<p>You only collect resources from the first settlement placed.

# Cities produce in Traders and barbarians of Catan

(Asked by: username_0 on 2019-10-16)

In the initial setup of the Traders and barbarians expansion and scenario, we use 1 settlement and 1 city (from where the caravan head out). At this moment the city will produce only 1 resource.

But will that initial city ALWAYS produce only 1 resource?

Further, Will any other city built during the game always produce 1 resource?
