Agh! What the hecks up with Aqueducts?

[Timeline]

I can't build'em in cities adjacent to "fresh water" tiles, but I still need em!!

All my cities are stuck at size 6, except for my capitol for some reason!!



Bug? Am I doing something wrong?

Help!!



Please...................

Cities adjacent don't fresh water don't need an Aqueduct. They can grow beyond size 6 without one. Thus the game doesn't even give you the option of building an Aqueduct in those cities.

Advisor says the city needs an aqueduct - the city won't grow - BUT I STILL CANT BUILD ONE!!

Did you discover the advance needed to build aqueducts? Im not sure what it is since i dont have the game as of yet.

You definitely do not need an Aqueduct to grow past 6 in cities located next to fresh water. However the city has to literally be right next to the water - either the river runs alongside the city square, or the inland sea is next to the city square. I have several cities in my game that meet this criteria and have grown beyond 6 without Aqueducts.

So if your city still needed to build an Aqueduct, then the water was probably near your city but not right next to it.
