Unworked, developed fishing tiles adding to gold per turn.

[Agamemnus]

Title.

Is this a feature of Civ 5?

 

[Thalassicus]

I don't see an effect like what you describe. Could you provide more details on the circumstances where you've seen it?

 

[Agamemnus]

I dunno, just all the time in my last game, but I noticed it happening after I had quite a few policies. Maybe it's a policy effect of "resources provide extra gold" or something like this?

 

[Thalassicus]

Fishing boats get +1 at the Compass tech... could that be what you're thinking of? It doesn't add to gold per turn unless the city works it, however.

 

[Agamemnus]

Well, I'm positive that those tiles weren't worked. They were way out of range of the cities. Well, I'll play a new game some time soon, see if it happens again, and try to ferret out the cause.

 

[Ahriman]

If the tile wasn't worked, what makes you think it was giving you gold income? Where was this showing up?

 

[Agamemnus]

When I added the fishing boat to the tile, my income per turn amount went up. Happened the same way with oil rigs, etc.

That's because you were paying maintenance on the work boat - when you expended it on the tile, your income went up because you weren't paying it any more.

Yes, this sounds like the issue. Gross income didn't increase, expenses went down.

/facepalm.
