News: BOTM07 Pregame Discussion

Not exactly. AFAIK, can build dikes in either river cities or coastal cities.

You sure? I just checked, and I have a city in the current BOTM (no river, not coastal) where I could build a dike. Although it is next to a 1-tile fresh water lake and might count as coastal/water-ish and dike-eligible.

Can't post a screenie, that would probably count as a spoiler, and I see no spoiler threads yets.

I think that if your city is next to a water tile you can build a dike. I don't think you can build a dike if the only water tiles are in the outer circle. If there are no water squares and you have river squares but you are not on a river then you can't build a dike.

thanks for the feedback guys. I am not good enough to finish the game early so dikes could become important later.

@Stormreaver
Welnic's explanation is correct. In vanilla such cities were even considered coastal from GLhouse point of view.

I stand corrected, thanks.

Do you have an estimated date for when the HOF mod will be updated to 3.17 compliant? i.e. next game, game after....

not a clue...none of us here in the GOTM work on the HOF mod, we just license it from the HOF...your best bet is to ask over there.

Hmm ... is that the second coming of the dual install I see on the horizon ... ?

I whipped library once it would only result in 1 unhappiness

... a single instance of whipping only ever creates 1 (more) unhappiness
