Does coastal ice block a Lighthouse?

[Nigel_Tufnel]

I'm wondering if I should build a city E of the coastal deer to get 3 sea resources, furs, deer, and iron. But will I be able to build a Lighthouse? I know only subs can enter the hex.

Ice is a feature, so it shouldn't. You can always quicksave and test it.

Given the ice is only on a single hex that isn't blocking anything, I can't possibly see how it would block a lighthouse, even if ice could (I doubt it, but certainly not in this case).

 

[Nigel_Tufnel]

You are both correct - I can build all water buildings!

Also, I can move a Cargo Ship there, but it won't run any trade missions.

It can see that there's water so you get your water buildings, but since there's no path through the ice, there's going to be no cargo ship and any ships built there will be sad.

Ice also does not interfere with city connections within a civilization.

 

[Uzael36]

There is no blockage from ice to the north. Do you just not have a granary or workshop built? Until you have a granary, you can't send it to your city, and you are probably out of range from other cities.

Everything is built for food trade - but the ice blocks it...

Oh, nm. I see now you did not settle on the dear tile, but the one next to it. I would have settle on the deer if going for something in that area.
