Harvesting the 'Ocean' Squares

[tigreyez]

Hello-

I noticed that in alot of the water' squares that are closer to the shore it shows where it has bread and gold pictures so I am assuming that means you can harvest from that particular spot.

How do you harvest from that area? Do you fish? If so - how do u fisth?

Thanks,

Deidre

If you build a lighthouse you will have 2 food on each sea tile. This means you can work the tile and get the commerce from it.

If you are playing a leader with the financial trait those sea tiles will give one extra commerce.

If you build Moai Statues in the city, each sea tile will give one hammer too.

If you build your city one tile back from the coast you will not be able to do any of these things. (avoid that)

Edit; go into the city screen. you can just click on a tile to put a citizen to work on it.

you also need fishing in order to be able to work water tiles.

Yeah you work them like normal tiles but they can't be improved by workers. So you need to throw on bonuses like mice said

To work any tile, go into the city screen and click the white circles so that a white circle is on the tile. For each point of population in the city you get one white circle or one specialist. (edit: as mice said).
