While I travel around the world beginning to construct distant colonies and connect them to my cities. Meanwhile my enemies continue to launch armies of knights and catapults against my cities. But I - Ahh - I can't built any units!!

I would think that a resource that significant and important would be readily available so those events wouldn't occur. I doubt your Knights would be obsolete by Gunpowder though.
Iron deposits, for example, would HAVE to be plentiful in the world, at least near Civ starting points, since it is of great importance to defense and growth. Otherwise the game would get unbalanced, especially if the provider of the Iron hates you.
