Totally Lost & Frustrated with Insufficient space

February 13, 2013 7:32:59 PM from Elemental ForumsElemental Forums

Is this explained anywhere? the manual, the Hiergamenon.  I've looked thru the forums I still don't get it !!  Every time I go to build a new city I get this.

My latest game has my 2nd city five sq from another city no swamps and still I can't build anything.

I don't know how to do a screen shot

Makes the game totally unplayable, there's been so many changes in the game without in game or a updated manual documentation on how this stuff works.

I don't see how you can go thru all these changes with the main game & start selling expansions

To make screen shots, just press Print Screen. You can then find them under My Docs\My Games\FallenEnchantress\ScreenShots.

Regarding the inability to build anything, you are most likely too close to another city. There is a minimum distance of 4 tiles for city improvements. Same goes for the city center itself, but that depends on the size of the map. 5 for tiny maps, 6 for small and medium maps, and 7 for large maps.

I've run into the same issue you describe.  I overwrote my savegames that showed it, though, so I haven't done a proper bug report for it yet.

Please edit your post with the screenshot so it's not super-long.

The thing is: It's not actually a bug. It's bad design.

The "feature" of not allowing improvements to be build when the city is too close to others should simply by removed.

If you have the Raise Land spell (from earth magic), you might be able to make extra space to build on if the city that has no space is beside the sea.

Similarly, if it is stuck up against mountains, try Lower Land.
