[Bug][Gameplay]Unable to build anything at a city

from Elemental Forums

I settled an area with a pioneer, but I was only able to build on the elemental shards next to the city. I tried raising some coastal land and it did not work. Nothing is in red for various buildings, but still I am unable to build a structure.

If you can send a screenshot. If it's a fresh city it doesn't have builded up...

In your dropbox save there is nothing but empty Save.tmp folder... weird

Etitowr has a few available tiles adjacent to the fire shard. The issue is that as improvements can't be built within five tiles of another city, and since it's at minimum range from the nearby minor race, all the tiles on that side of the city are unavailable. This is something we've discussed internally so it may change in the future.

Huh. I thought you couldn't build a city within 5 tiles of another? Shrug. ah well.
