Why would it not be possible to construct a leeve in the city below? It is because the river starts on that tile?? Never heard of something like this.
:confused:




EDIT: Uh - sorry for bad quality image! Should I upload other?

EDIT2: New picture:

 
Looks like the river stops one tile short of your city??? (Hard to see for sure.)
 
It would be nice to see a better picture, but from what I can tell, you most likely have just answered yourself, but to be sure, does the tile next to your city (left) has ... err... "running water" (I mean, is the tile supplied of water by the river)

[Sorry, I play Civ in spanish so sometimes I get a little bit screwed when translating terminology :p]
 
What you can see is that the farmed tile to the west of my city has +1 commerce, so the river is indeed there.

Okay, that is truly weird-looking. I've never seen a river adjacent to the sea that doesn't connect to the sea. I would imagine that that is the root of the problem.

I did once see a similar glitch on a desert city on a flood plain. The tile just north of the city was a flood plain at the very beginning of the river, and it functioned as a flood plain square, producing 3 food, but I couldn't improve it--it functioned more like an oasis than a flood plain.
 
Good question. It certainly appears to be the case that your city is adjacent to the river.
 
Looks like it to me as well!

Hmmm
 
Oh, so it must have something to do with the fact that, around 3 weeks ago I did WB this map, because I wanted to play with 1 CIV in each continent with isolated starts, but I didn't want to check each time I regenerated, and spoil the map, if all he CIVS had their own continent. So I did a map with 7 continents, then saw that each CIV had one continent for itself and spaced by the ocean but 2. Mine and Elizabeth. So I did WB, putting her in other continent, and put mine(that was big for 2 civilizations) smaller. So, I guess, if I remember(I did 3 weeks ago and only started to play yesterday exactly for that, so I couldn't remember lol) there was a desert to the west and I changed most tiles for plains and put a river. I guess I did that river myself.


So, levee does not work with WB???!? Punishment!


Or...?
 
I believe its because of the error on the river. I've messed around with the river tool on one city challenges and you have to coax it into doing what you want. I had some weird effects when they didn't connect up to other water ways correctly. This could be the source of your problem.

On another note... did you know you could flood plain grasslands with corn? :)
 
Ahh, you WB'd the start? That makes much more sense because I was about to say that you had one heck of a starting location for a financial leader with gems and gold in your fat cross.
 
Is steel a pre-req for steam power, (and if no then have you got steam power?) you may not have the necessary tech to build a levee yet.

I got a gold and a gem during the game by mines.

And I only added one gem to the game - which I did put in the middle of a big jungle.

The rest was already there. As I said, mostly I only turned into ocean a big part of my continent to have +- the same size of the others! I then took off osme desert and changed to plains, becuase I had 2 big deserts on my continent, ad made a jungle because I was very happiness poor.

And I did put all "good" leaders for this kind of map. A lot of financial and so I guess.

And look my score! I didn't master prince yet it seems! :)
 
I am building levees in other cities, so yes...

The smiles is a mod that does not alterer game-play. I will find it in a sec. Wait.

If the river doesn't connect with the sea, that's bizarre. The Great Salt River.
