The distance you can build from the city center is limited by the city's level.
Thanks for the info Kyro but please make sure that is documented at least? This seems to go against being able to build toward a resource, as you won't be able to build past a certain point from the center of your city.
Wylaryzel...Nope there is no wood or hills in my way. It is open land, but I only have the option of building on the opposite side I was wanting to.
