Culture Problem

[BadHorsie]

Well ok, anyway, it's not a bug. Your culture can't spread out into the open ocean. As cool as that would be, it can't happen.

You'll see if you play a continents map, that in the modern era (for example), when everyone has fully claimed all space on their continent, that the mini-map shows all coloured areas will not meet. They'll just surround the continent, but not spread across to the next.

Culture will spread TWO TILES away from the SAME LANDMASS that the city sits on. So if you've got a bay-thing and your city is sitting at the back of it, it'll spread 2 tiles out over the ocean beyond the coast, but if there's islands out there and your city is on the very edge of the coast, it won't spread out to the islands (only 2 tiles from the landmass the city is on).

actually, we were talking about this screenshot, which i had removed because this thread had died. you'll see my culture jumping out 5 tiles!
