The only solution I can think of if there's really not a single tile available or that could become available to your capital would be to get the AI to conquer your capital, which I believe should move capital status to another city? (At least that's how it worked in previous games iirc.) Although it'd probably be easier to just go for another victory this game and next time be able to plan ahead.
Thank you for confirming my suspicions. I ended up completing both the scientific and cultural victory paths so I guess the fact I couldn’t build a single factory didn’t hurt much in the end.
Is there even enough modern age buildings to fill all land area? I do not think so?
In my current game I started as Isabella and Egypt. With 3-tile natural wonder, some water tiles and number of wonders I've built thanks to Egypt great people, I need to start worry about space in my capital at the beginning of exploration already. Or plan to move it somewhere after exploration.
What on earth… you somehow filled your entire capitals land with urban buildings? That is some dedication! Are there many tiles consumed by water and resources?
Note that a rail station consumes an entire tile. You cannot overbuild it on top of something else.
Yes you can overbuild a railway station, but the whole district must be composed of previous age buildings. Same for the air field.
was playing a little around this last night. had the same problem. It seems the only way to get the alert option is to be stationed in a city center, and sometimes on a fishing quay ! all the other locations gave me only sleep option
I think the placement of ageless buildings in general is one the game's biggest noob traps. It's rather easy to place them where they block better buildings/ a later era unique district or on a tile where they don't get optimal adjacency (as two ageless buildings always form a quarter for adjacencies).
He's not a man of the cloth; he's a charlatan spreading lies about a false god.
This probably means I'm doing things wrong, but this is why I have a really hard time convincing myself to build the WH buildings. You're stuck with that thing even when the rest of your tiles become city stuff.
You'll want them for palace adjacencies and for acting as urban bridges to get other districts to where you want them to be, since right next to your city centre is usually not the best place for building adjacencies.
It's the Palace itself that has the adjacency, so it doesn't really matters what it get it from (except that with a Warehouse Quarter, this adjacency stays all ages, as well as a Palace Specialist if you put one there).
