(Poll) Do you build an aqueduct for cities that have access to fresh water ?

Jarms48 · Mar 18, 2017

I ticked sometimes as Rome, but even that's situational.

More often than not, the only reason I'll build an aqueduct to a river is when I purposely settle one tile out, either because of overlap from a nearby city, there's no wheat/rice, or there's a tile I really want to work.

Well, I built one today for the envoy.

The aqueduct should give some food (+2) and amenity (+1). Clean and fresh water from the mountains is better than river water and it is a luxury goods.

If I do, it's only for the eureka for military engineering. So it depends on the circumstances.

Rarely, but I guess it happens sometimes if I don't have anything particularly urgent to build and it's a city with a lot of food but currently housing capped and I don't want to wait for any alternative solution to the problem. But only if it doesn't take up any otherwise valuable tile in the process (like a grasslands/plains/flood plains river tile for example). Also you can at least build one just for the Military Engineering boost if you want

Rome is an exception of course

I sometimes build them, sometimes not. It really depends on the situation at the time.

If I have a need for housing and it seems like a good investment, I will build them.

I usually don't since it is usually easier to use other improvements, buildings or policies. Housing issues tend to resolve themselves over time.

Do you build an aqueduct for cities that have fresh water playing on immortal or deity ?

I build an aqueduct regardless of the appeal of the tiles city covers/will cover and tile yield

Only if there is an average tile available to do it like plains or grassland without hills

Only if there is a below average tile available to do it like tundra or desert

I build an aqueduct only if the city won't reach a tile with an appeal of 6(breathtaking)

Only if the city won't reach a tile with an appeal of 6 and the tile is average

Only if the city won't reach a tile with an appeal of 6 and the tile is below average

I build an aqueduct only if the city won't reach a tile with an appeal of 5 or 6(>=charming)

Only if the city won't reach a tile with an appeal of 5 or 6 and the tile is average

Only if the city won't reach a tile with an appeal of 5 or 6 and the tile is below average

I build an aqueduct only if the city won't reach a tile with an appeal of 4, 5 or 6(>=average)

Only if the city won't reach a tile with an appeal of 4, 5 or 6 and the tile is average

Only if the city won't reach a tile with an appeal of 4, 5 or 6 and the tile is below average

I build an aqueduct only if the city won't reach a tile with an appeal of 3 or above(>=uninviting)

Only if the city won't reach a tile with an appeal of 3 or above and the tile is average

Only if the city won't reach a tile with an appeal of 3 or above and the tile is below average

I NEVER BUILD AN AQUEDUCT FOR CITIES THAT HAVE FRESH WATER

Only build them as Rome
