  • Aqueduct question?

    I need a clarification of the aqueduct rule. Does the city need to be founded directly on top of the river or can the river be within one tile of the city in order to receive the benefits of the river?

    Aqueduct: a city with an Aqueduct can grow beyond population six.
    Note that a city adjacent to fresh water never requires and aqueduct.

    adjacent (e-jâ´sent) adjective
    1.Close to; lying near: adjacent cities.
    2.Next to; adjoining: adjacent garden plots.

    The city in this picture requires an aqueduct.

    I seem to remember that in my previous games the rivers only needed to be within one tile. Was I tripping?

    The city needs to be in a tile with a river forming the border of that tile. Or in a tile adjacent to a lake (Coastal terrain but inaccessible to the Ocean).

      Thanks for the response. Is this a new thing with the 1.21f patch?

          For some reason I can't see your image, but notyoueither, (whose avatar I can't see either) summed it up.

              IE6 is a real browser. But since this morning your tiger has been replaced by a red X marker.

                Can anyone see the image I posted?

                Thanks for answering the question. I was pretty sure of the answer anyway. I just could have sworn the rule was not implemented like that before. I was wrong. I guess I like to remember things the way I want to, not necessarily the way they happened.

                    I don't know. I can see it if I view your profile, so I don't know what's up with it.

                      I think the image is too big. Dang nam it. Tigers deserve to be enjoyed in all their infinite colour goodness.

                        Firstly MosesPresley, attach the image using the attach image option just below where you reply (full reply, not quick reply).
                        Do NOT link to your local hard-drive!

                        notyoueither: Your avatar is fine for me. Not sure if you've since 'fixed' it or there is a problem with Grrr!!'s browser, but I can see it fine.
                        I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).

                          new server?

                          Since the thread has already evolved somewhat off topic and since the primary question's been answered ...

                          Anyone else notices change(s) with the new Apolyton server?

                          At least, that's what I think has changed:

                          opening my mailbox to check the latest (Apo) messages, the direct link to the specific thread doesn't function anymore. Instead there's a note:

                          vBulletin Message
                          If you see this message, then you dns server is sending you to our old location.
                          However you should be able to access the forums on the new server with this link!




                          Will this be fixed?
                          Need I to implement some fixes?

                              AJ, after you "click" on the new server link, save the new page to your favorites and delete the old server page from your computer. This is what I did and it works fine now.
