Can you build past a river?

November 2, 2012 8:36:13 PM from Elemental ForumsElemental Forums


Err, am I just missing it, and it's obvious? I have a city near a river. In fact it's on three sides. I can't build across to the other shore? I built a pier, and figured I'd be able to build on the tile adjacent to it on the other side of the river, but clearly I can't. Is there really just no way to do it, unless you happen to have, some way to build AROUND to the other shore or something of that nature?

No you cannot. You can only build to adjacent buildings. So unless you snake your buildings to the other side of the river by going around the entire river you cannot build on the other side of the river.

There is a way, but it involves upgrading that pier to a dock, building around the tile with the dock, and then demolishing the dock and rebuilding the pier on the same tile, but on the other bank, and then building next to that.

I have not experimented to learn exactly why and how it works.  I play without reloading, and this happened mostly by accident.  But it worked in .992 for sure.  I think that the river tile was a turn in the river.

I think this is unintended, but nifty if it works. I'll have to try it out.
