Go Fish??

[criscusack]

Hi. How can "fish" or "whale" squares be worked? People don't walk on water, and I've seen no little fishing boarys or anything (not that that would work too well with a whale.)

Thanks

The same way cows and wheat are worked. By having a citizen on them.

As Tomoyo says, fish and whales are available to be worked by citizens in any town within range.

You can improve all water tiles - whether they have fish, whales or nothing - by building a harbour in a town within range. That increases food per turn for any worked water tile by one as long as the despot penalty isn't triggered. So a plain coast tile goes from 1 food per turn to 2., for example, which can turn a small and limited tundra or rocky coastline town into a gold-generating city.
