Why can't I construct?

[d6veteran]

Often I have a city/settlement that has all the construction options fogged out (unselectable).

Is this a bug? Or am I not allowed to start construction for some reason?

Note: I have a General or family member in the city. I can build some turns and not others.

Have you reached the next population level?

If there are simply no buildings showing up in the build tab, it's because you've built everything for your settlement level, and have to wait till your population grows large enough to move to the next set of buildings (i.e. large enough to build a Governor's Palace, or a Proconsul's Palace).

If they're showing up but washed-out and unclickable, then you've spent all your cash already and will have to wait till you get more later.

You also need one of your family members in the city to micromanage it.

Did you not read my post? ;)


Thanks guys, that makes sense now.

Its an interesting change to the build queue, it takes the cost out of your treasury as you queue it rather than when it starts building.
