Luxury resource.

Strategy

Whales are a relatively common luxury, found in most coastal regions of the world. Instead of +2 Gold Gold Gold, Whales provide a +1 bonus to both Food Food Food and Gold Gold Gold.

Civilopedia entry

The largest mammals alive today, for centuries men have hunted whales for their meat, blubber, and bones. In pre-industrial times men challenged these massive animals from sailing vessels, employing harpoons against the massive beasts in an often deadly fight of man against animal. Now the hunters use modern ships, sonar, and exploding weapons against the whales - with such success that their survival remains in doubt.
