Did this happen to anyone before???

In my chase, I want to build The Hoover Dam, but can't, and no other civ build it, no other city is building it, so what the hell?????

Trifna · January 12, 2003, 17:18

Is your city near a river?... If not, I think Hoover Dam cannot be built.

Have you done anything like chopping forests or disbanding units in the city lately? If so, you can't build there.

Datajack Franit · January 12, 2003, 18:38

Are you in anarchy?

Care to post a game screenshot of your city production list?

Also, you are not allowed to rush a building or unit and then switch to GW.

mrboo123 · January 12, 2003, 19:05

Theseus · January 12, 2003, 19:28

Are you on War-Time production?

mrboo123 · January 12, 2003, 21:59

yes, why? If it why I can't build the Hoover Dam, I guess I learned something new today....

bobbo008 · January 12, 2003, 22:04

everyone knows that the Hoover Dam can't be built in America, geez...

Actually, I've had the same problem with the Hoover Dam, but that it couldn't be built in certain cities (with rivers)

When in mobilization only war infrastructure can be build. You nedd to sign peace with one civ, before you can switch back to normal builds.

aahz_capone · January 13, 2003, 05:42

while we are on the tpoic of wonders and mobiliztion, did you kjnow that you cannot build the Heroic epic during mobilization? c'mon! if that isn't a military building than what the hell is? it allows you to build the military academy at least.

The Heroic Epic is supposed to be a cultural wonder...

I never declared war on no one, and its ALL WoWs I can't build...

Hurricane · January 13, 2003, 08:45

Then you need to declare war on somebody and after that sign a peace treaty. Mobilization will then automatically switch to normal again.

This is because you at any time can switch to war-time economy, but only switch back by signing a peace treaty.

SpencerH · January 13, 2003, 09:43

Perhaps I'm wrong, but Detroit is not on a river (its near a river) so it cant build Hoover Dam.

It has a city in its city radius, which is enough to allow it to build the Hoover Dam in Civ 3 rules, IIRC. For anyone who wishes to know what you can and can't build when mobilized, have a look at Catt's excellent Fundamentals of Mobilization Revealed. The Hoover Dam is one of the wonders you are not allowed to start building when mobilized.

I thought the city had to be on the river, not just have a river in its radius. Same rule as aqueducts.

alva · January 13, 2003, 13:41

Nope, Vulture is right.

Except that you need a river and not a city in the city

Stuie · January 13, 2003, 14:49

Hmm... I'll have to try that out later. From what I recall in actual play, the river had to be right up against the city. Then again, I'm getting old and losing lots of brain cells to various vices.
