Agricultural civs

[Filippo]

On the manual I read that Agricultural civs can irrigate hills, however in the Civilopedia there is no mention about this and I can't actually do it (tried with the Netherlands). Is it a feature of some scenario ? Or it just is an error of the manual ?

This is an error in the manual, it was an early idea for agricultural civilizations that was never implemented.

thanks, that's a shame. I would have loved it.

I guess after Civ2 Firaxis forgot about Terracing.

Agricultural cvis are great.

For me, the Duth now are one of the better civs, agricultural/seafaring....

..or at least for multiplayer purpuses, I stared a game with a friend this week and I had to move one tile to found a river next to the sea!. So, my capital has the food and commerce bonues!. That was great

I agree, I love the Dutch.

As Merepatra said, it was considered, but was left out in favor of other bonuses for Agricultural.
