    What kind of map did you have selected? You didn't accidentally select a tundra map, did you?

    PS: That quote from the Chillies in your sig - it should say "This life is more than just a read-through"!

            Ice Age is cool No, really it is. More barbs and that primieval feeling that you're there "at the beginning." There usually is a narrow temperate zone in the middle though. I had three ivory sites in one of mine. Wonder if they were wooly mammoths

                While we're on the subject of tundra, why am I sometimes able to farm it and sometimes not? It seems I can farm next to a river (and I think I've also seen commerce in such situations), but I can't chain farms to tundra or improve with biology.

                  Every (land)tile (except ice) with access to a source of fresh water can be farmed. For the rest, simply pray that a forest will grow on non-fresh tundra tiles eventually to have some extra use out of it.

                    Can't do crap with Tundra or Desert unless it's next to fresh water (or has a forest, in the case of tundra).

                      I thought cities are supposed to pass through water for purposes of irrigation? I had a river/ tundra (fresh water) + farm/ city/ tundra all in a line, and I couldn't farm the tundra square on the other side, not even with biology. Is that a bug?

                        this was my point earlier, it doesn't seem possible to "carry" water to tundra by eg chaining farms (or cities) or biology, but tundra directly next to a river is farmable. Seems odd.

                          I'd assume it's an attempt to make the game realistic, because Water would Freeze in tundra, and would Evaporate in a desert.
                          I don't think they needed to do that, though - Desert or Tundrid cities tend to be crappy anyway.

                            There's a few months of summer - otherwise how could you farm tundra at all?

                            Crappy? Or sited near vital but inconveniently placed resources?

                              What i dont get is...

                              a tundra next to a lake or river can be farmed, or cottaged/workshopped.

                              Tundra without freshwater canot have anything on it...

                              Well why not a cottage? ok no water to feed the populace? workshop? well? hmmm.
