How to get water to a land tile?

[Grandpa Troll]

In Call To Power if you had a forest and wanted to have farms for the growth, you had to make a "roadway system" of terraformed tiles from either a river or some body of water..(i.e. ocean,lake,river) to the city....

Is this the same basic application here in CIVIII:Conquests?

I forget what its called in Conquests, but its the 3 squiggly lines..maybe "irrigation" if I remember correctly?

Thanks in advance for helping a "Convert-in-Training"

Yes, its called irrigation. You can't irrigate forests thought, you first have to cut them down, and if they are next to fresh water (rivers or lakes) or another already irrigated square then you can irrigate.

Thanks GePap

Basically same as CTP..if no water body then bring the water, 1 tile at a time to them

Ok..back i go!

The fresh water requirement is key. You can't just irrigate from an ocean. You can only irrigate from rivers or fresh water (inland) lakes. After the discovery of Electricity you can irrigate anywhere regardless of fresh water, but that's pretty far into the game.

I am actually a longer Apolyton type..I started as DrDanger..(I am from High School Days of the 70's when Dr J Julius Irving was big..so got nic named Dr Danger.)..then switched in 2000 to Troll..as a joke because i was having fun in many threads...making a jest out of someones stupid remarks..someone called me a Troll..like it... kept it..then Ming the Man gave me this title as a Christmas Present this past year!

Ok..well..thanks for the welcome

And to tell you the truth..I am really having fun here with CIV III Conquests!!

Ya'll have a good day and for the most part I am harmless...mean no harm EVEN when I post a "Spirited" message of intent exposing my viewpoits....

(Oh and yeah..I want to disclose to the local probation officer and Sherriff..i am a two time offender.. )

Oh, you can use cities to bring water as well. Normally, this doesn't mean very much, but if you found a city on a hill that is next to fresh water, which cannot be irrigated, then all surrounding tiles are considered to have access to fresh water.

Which brings another interesting question?

Does anyone build on a mountain near water..for bonus of production?

Or does the mountains not give that in this game?

In CTP I would take a mountain tile because of the X2 bonus for the tile that your sitting on and then give great prodcution..and live on the surrounding land!

Not great for growth but excellent for production!

welcome (back) mr Troll.

you cant build Cities on montains in conquests (epic games anyway im fairly sure you can build cities on mountains in the age of discovery scenario).

and lets see how much fun you are having as you watch those houres whizz by as you sit infront of your PC and contemplate whether its more benificial to assign that new citizen in your city to a mined grass or irrigated plains

Exactly. I was just trolling the Troll

[Last Conformist]

In Epic C3C, cities are not possible on mountains and marshes.
