Huh, THIS is seemingly why I often have similar problems and totally gave up on trying to understand the WHY behind them.demands requiring more advanced roads in some cases.
It's not really built into the road system so much as the road improvements on the tech tree. If you need access to stuff from further out mines or forts, you'll need the national smelter which you have to wait quite a while for on the tech tree.Huh, THIS is seemingly why I often have similar problems and totally gave up on trying to understand the WHY behind them.
Let's be honest:It's not really built into the road system so much as the road improvements on the tech tree. If you need access to stuff from further out mines or forts, you'll need the national smelter which you have to wait quite a while for on the tech tree.
After years of playing this explain a lot. But can you give us more details, like how far can be mine with basic trail/road from city?It's not really built into the road system so much as the road improvements on the tech tree.

This is why you play to learn the system of the Mod's mechanics Before you try to circumvent them; so you can "get ahead".Huh, THIS is seemingly why I often have similar problems and totally gave up on trying to understand the WHY behind them.
Needs to be in your Cultural area of control. That is why palisades/forts are important for resources outside your normal cultural boundaries. Surely you have noticed the AI doing this very thing?After years of playing this explain a lot. But can you give us more details, like how far can be mine with basic trail/road from city?
For the earlier local smelters to be built, the metal resource needs to be in workable range of the city (2 or 3 tiles out depending on how big the culture of the city is or depending on the setting of the 3rd tile Administration Access option). THEN, improved and routed is sufficient to build the local smelter. If it's outside that range, you need the national smelter (and you also need cultural control as Joseph explains) to solve for that. Once the smelter is built, you can build a metal forge of that type I think just about anywhere thanks to ingot access (so you may be able to trade for ingots from some other nation?) That forge makes the wares that is usually the actual prereq for things that require that metal in a worked format.After years of playing this explain a lot.
