Gold Rivers
Seafarers also introduces the "Gold River" terrain, which grants nearby players one resource of their choice for every settlement adjacent to a gold tile and 2 resources for every city. Since being able to choose any resource type allows more building power, gold rivers are either marked with number token of only 2 or 3 dots and/or are far away from starting positions to offset this.
When combined with Cities and Knights, the rules state that you are not allowed to take commodities instead of resources if a city is nearby.
