irrigation problems

[jag2k2]

Can someone please help me out? I am having problems with irrigation. When I irrigate plains, I recieve +1 food but when I irrigate any grassland area, I don't get +1 food even though the manual says I should. Can someone explain this too me??

Depends on your government.You're probably in Despotism.Irrigating under Despo does nothing.Each government form collects resources in a slightly different fashion.IIRC food is uniform thru out except for Despo.

Under despotism, anything that produces 3 or more of a resouces produces one less. When you get to monarchy you will get 3 food from an irrigated grass land.

Also if you're in a period of anarchy, you can't produce more then 2 units of a kind per city square!!
