Irrigation is a terrain modification performed by a settler, worker, or engineer. Irrigated terrain usually produces more food for a city than before it was irrigated.


Mechanics[]

  • The irrigation order can only be given to a settler, worker, or engineer.
  • The terrain to be irrigated must have one of its four sides adjacent to a water source - sea, lake, river, or another irrigated square; a city does not count unless it contains a river.
  • A worked irrigated square generates one more unit of food per turn.
  • A square cannot contain both irrigation and mine; building both will replace the first.
