Hi!
I know it sound like a noob question, but I consider myself still a noob on civ4 C2C.
Until now, I just play right away with a very limited sight at my future choices, because there is so much techs than it take a long time to assimilate all this information and starting to make real strategy and long term planning (except I understood the importance to rush "ritualism" during prehistory !).
I've read somewhere here than normaly city range get 3 tiles (and 2 diagonals).
I didnt choose the option about to get a special technology for getting that.
So here in my current game, I m during classical age with an huge city of more than 20 citizens.
They exploit all tiles in range 2, making 20 citizen at work. All others citizens are automaticaly put in the city as "specialist" because I have more citizen than tiles to exploit.
My cultural expansion show I ve more tiles in my borders... but I still can't exploit it.
So my question, is it normal ?
These tiles will "unlock" later with more culture ?
How does it work ?
When will I be able to exploit these tiles ?
When choosing my citys places, I made in sort my citys are all at 7 tiles aways because I was planning later all field will be covered and exploited. So my question have a big impact on how to choose city placements.
