As you are well aware, when a city first starts out, its borders start out in a 3x3 grid. There are eight squares you can work.
As culture expands, the borders also expand. The first time the borders expand, the borders take the shape of what fans refer to as a "fat plus sign." It's basically like a 4x4 grid, except the corners are still outside your boundaries.
My cultural borders will continue to expand as culture increases, but the only problem is... although I can build improvements on the far-away tiles, I have no way of working them! When I enter the city screen, and try to click on tiles to work (shown via a white circle), I can only click on tiles that are within the "fat plus sign" cultural borders.
If I try to work a tile that's outside of the "fat plus sign" range, it just cancels out the city screen and returns me to the world map!
I can't even work the tiles that are in the corners of the 4x4 grid! Clicking on even THOSE tiles still cancels out the city screen!
Am I doing something wrong? Do I just not know the correct input to be able to hover over the workable tiles? Or is working those tiles just not possible at all?
