[.92] [Bug?] Problems building on some resources

from Elemental Forums

I haven't figured out what the issue is but I find that in some cases I do not get the option to build on a resource that is in my territory even though I believe I have the right techs (which I think I read we might not even need now).  Basically in my latest game I had an old growth forest right next to my starting position.  I was never given the option of building on it even though it was in my territory for the whole game.  Also a mine was close by and when my territory expanded over it I was expecting to be able to build a mine, but I wasn't.  And I had the mining tech.  I eventually ended up building pioneers to claim these resources but I don't understand why that was necessary.  Not sure if this is a bug or if I'm just not supposed to be able to build on these resources from cities.  Either way it needs to be more clear what I can and cannot build on, and why.

There was a change in 3B or 3C where you can build on these tiles but not from the city build window.  Instead of opening the city build, select the tile by left clicking on it and you'll have an option to build on it.

Really, that is kind of strange.  Why am I able to build on lost libraries and gold mines then?  I like the old way better but it should at least be consistent.

Were you playing empire?  I have had that problem playing empire and not being able to do forests.  With Kingdom faction I have no problems with resources yet.

No I was playing as a kingdom, forget which one.  I had trouble with the Empire in the past so kind of gave up on them for the time being.
