Not so great general. Any ideas?

Are you in a war with Hiawata? If not, I'm quite sure you're not allowed to plant a citadel in his territory. However, if you move it to the tiles you indicated, he's in your own territory and thus allowed to construct the citadel. It'll still piss off Hiawata, but it's technically allowed.

Hmmmmmm.....You say : you can get the option by moving up or down 1 plot , so : its probably not related to The Great Wall being near. Does Hiawatha have a citadel built nearby? ,or , this is a longshot : You do know about the last action icon , with the three arrows ,that : opens a list of additional actions for the unit? Most likely you do , but , i thought of the possibility that : it is coming up as a recommended action in other spots ,but , in that spot , its just an action.

I've seen that map before...
I'm QUITE sure you can't do that when you're in that player's territory AND not at war with them though.
I agree, that's my best guess. I think it's to stop people from cheesing Open Borders to increase the impact of Great Generals.
Go to war; Hiawatha has it coming anyways. Looking closely at the map, I'm sure he's pissed off most of the rest of the civs from planting his trademark crap cities next to them.
Good memory, GotM TS 58!
Tried that, and the direct keystroke command too. No active DoF either. If one moves two tiles past your border, the Construct Citadel pops-up, but it is grayed out. This is different than that even.

No, I've done it before - there's even a special dialogue that pops up from the AI going "If you're looking to provoke a war, keep doing that", or something along those lines.
Bumping because it happened to me again… Anyone else encounter this?

Could it be the great wall is considered like a citadel. Since you cannot place two citadels beside each other.

Great Wall is not involved. And you can place two citadels beside each other.

You have to research mining for forest tiles and bronze working for jungle tiles
Thanks BlackWizard, but both my games where this happened were late game. Recent one, the bugged tile was an oasis.
So, no one else has experienced this?

You can't build any other improvement on an oasis tile, so I maybe the Citadel is blocked too. Never really tried though, it's just a guess.
Target tile is four hexes away from capital, so cannot be purchased. I may have a chance to play around and see if owning the tile makes a difference with the plant citadel option coming up. I though maybe the GG needed his full movement, but thats not it. Note that the menu does not even come grayed out, which is what happens when a GG is outside your borders.
I would love to hear from anyone who has experienced this. I am not running any mods, and GG works fine at least nine out of ten times.

Probably because the forest.
Building a citadel on forest would require removing the forest. The way forest in other player territory behaves for workers is that workers can chop it during war but not peace. Great Generals are probably hemmed by the same limitation.
