Why are these cities not connected?

[rjmatsleepers]

They seem to be on the same river, which is in either neutral or my territory.

Edit - It appears to have something to do with the territory controlled by Thessalonica. A few turns later, when Thessalonica's boundaries expanded, the cities were connected.

Do you have sailing?

No, but AFAIK it's not needed to connect by a river.

RJM

Edit

I am confused.

The civipedia says that sailing enables trade network along rivers. But here is a screenshot from a few turns after the one posted above. The two cities are now connected, even though I have not discovered sailing.

River connection must be continuously through your territory.

The civilopedia says that cities are connected provided the river stays within your borders or in neutral territory. From your comment and the example above, this appears to mean that at least one bank must be in your territory. I learn something new - again!

:gasp: An error in an entry of the Civopedia? Who woulda thunk?

Connections across rivers work this way:

PRE-SAILING:
You are connected if the river is entirely inside your territory.

POST-SAILING:
You are connected if the river is entirely in your territory, neutral territory, or any territory you have open border connection with.

Yes, the Civilopedia is not so clear on this point.

That's not true.
This river goes outside my cultural borders and it's still connected.

[rah]

Do you already have sailing.

@prelynmax

What's the mod you are using for:

1) the English flag
2) the message that says you have grown to size two
3) those grey faces in the score board (and what do they tell you)

Thanks.

Looks to me like he's using Wolfshanze, though all of the above are also available individually. They might be in BUG too, I don't know.

And, the gray faces are a thumbnail of their attitude towards you: pleased, neutral, etc. That early in the game, most AIs will be neutral.

It looks like BUG to me. Or BtS Unaltered Gameplay as it's officialy called.

Sorry for the late post, I've been busy with my own IRL problems.

Willem is correct; I'm using the BUG Mod. Basically, it makes the interface of the game a lot easier to read, and you can get it here.

Those grey faces are that civilization's attitude towards you. These particuar civs are cautious against me.

Finally, I've checked the game, and I realized I did have sailing.

Oopsie.
