A little question: do cities on hills carry over fresh water to adjacent squares that otherwise would have no access to irrigated squares?

I have just started a game with my city on a hill with fresh water access. Unfortunately, there are some hill/desert locked forrested plains that cannot have access to irrigated water after Bureaucracy is invented. But perhaps via this city on the hill? I am playing Warlords.

It is important to know because if it does carry over irrigation then I want to chop the woods. Otherwise I 'll just leave them there and build lumbermills.

You can tell this by having an active worker, and right click and hold on that square, and seeing if the pitchfork is active or not. I believe the answer is no, though.

No, cities on hills do not allow chaining of irrigation.

It used to be possible in previous versions, though.

Ok. Thanks!
