1.0.1.383 Lighthouse effect incorrectly described

Mercade · Aug 14, 2011

The civilopedia and tooltip for the lighthouse say that they give +1 food on Ocean tiles.

In the game it can easily be verified that this effect is also present on coast tiles. The text of the civilopedia and the tooltip should be adjusted to reflect this. I propose the neutral term "sea tiles" covering both coast and ocean.

Also, the description talking about fish is irrelevant. Sea tiles get one extra food regardless of whether they have fish or not.

I didn't bother building them for ages because the description makes them sound far less useful than they really are.

Exactly. I never bothered until I recently made a Great Lighthouse and got a free local lighthouse in the city.

The description of the on-line Civilopedia is much more accurate.

Unless I'm mistaken, Fish tiles get 2 extra food. One from the basic +1 food from water tiles and +1 food from fish tiles.

Correct

That's not what it looks like in the screenshots posted.

Those are probably Whales/Pearls not Fish.

Ah, I hadn't thought of that. Should have figured it out from the gold.

Correct. The city has pearls, not fish.

The pearls also benefit from the +1 :c5food:

while on the coast, contrary to the misleading ocean description.
