Is there anywhere I can find a bunch of interesting mods for Civ 4? I'm willing to tolerate quite a bit of imbalance, as long as the concept itself makes up for it. I miss stomping around as dinosaurs or single-celled organisms.
Fall From Heaven 2 is the best. It's the fantasy setting one and it is amazing, as we say in every Civ thread ever.

The idea that your vote is a moral statement about you or who you vote for is some backwards ass libertarian nonsense. Your vote is about society. Vote to protect the vulnerable.

Best mod by far is Thomas' War, which is basically a fourth expansion pack for the game.
It's well balanced and adds new civics, civilizations (dozens), traits, technologies, units—the whole deal. If you play long enough you can build domed cities and battlemechs or obliterate the planet's ecosystem with the Andromeda Strain project.
Roads to resources? Like mines and pastures and farms?
No, resources are like... special things that happen to be on a tile. A grassland with a farm does not have a resource (probably). However, a grassland with horses on it a and pasture built provides the 'horse' resource if it is connected to a city by road.
Likewise, a mountain with a mine does not have a resource. But a mountain with iron with a mine provides the 'iron' resource.
I hope that clears it up a little. Or at least, doesn't confuse the issue further. :P
Ah, so like a rice patty or what not? Or pigs?
It's also very beneficial to zoom all the way out to the map-wide top-down view and mess with the buttons over the minimap to turn on the one that shows resources. It'll mark every resource you can see with a large icon floating above it to make it easier to spot. It's usually not so large that it interferes with gameplay, but it helps out a ton.
It gets kind of irritating in Fall from Heaven, though, since you'll likely have vast seas of deer or cotton icons clogging up your screen.

It has a distinct lack of researching tail-spikes, though.
