Secret Police HQ

[jst666]

Cheers!

A bit of help needed... I am in my current game under communism, and been there couple of turns. But I can't build SPHQ! I've checked under F1 that none of my cities is NOT accidentally building it, nor does it appear as a choice in any city! Is there any prequisites to building that? 5 police stations? Don't get it...

any help appreciated,
Abu Bakr

I believe You have to research espionage and be a communist nation before you can build this small wonder. Fellow civfanatics, please correct me if i am wrong.

You need to have a certain number of cities before you can build the forbidden palace (half the optimal number of cities). There is probably a similar restriction on the SPHQ.

Examples: optimal number of cities on a standard map is 20, need to have 10 cities to build forbidden palace, optimal number of cities on a huge map is 36, need to have 18 cities to build forbidden palace.

Am playing on a custom map, which is huge, can't remember the exact size. And am under communism and got 116 cities... I guess I'll try to research espionage, thnx.

I think you are totally wrong on this one..
i've just checked Civilopedia.. You need to research espionage in order to build SPHQ.... Plus as i mentioned above be a communist state.

I am aware of what the civilopedia says. It is a given that espionoge is required.

I was just adding that for the Forbidden city there is a minimum number of cities required and that maybe a similar restriction applies to the SPHQ.

Maybe someone who knows for sure could clarify.

Oh, and I didn't notice that espionage... Saw one required tech there, just assumed it was communism... thnx.
