Kingdom too Large?

Have the supplies but still nothing.

from Elemental Forums

I'm having a bit of a problem tryin to build my kingdom. It's at lvl 4 and I am dominating pretty much everything on the map, I have the civilization tech on lvl 24 or something like that etc,. So I have the materials to build whatever I need but it seems like i have to destroy something in order for my build list to let me put something somewhere. Is this a bug?

Though it's not well explained nor prominently displayed in-game, cities have a maximum number of buildable tiles.  It's not something most players come up against in a normal game (though I assume it's attempting to force meaningful choices), the tile cap increases with city level (at least it used to, I haven't payed attention to it recently).  Kind of a vestigial game concept as it's currently implemented.  IIRC, you should be able to see # of available tiles in the individual city summary (click on the city picture when the city is selected).

Hope that helps!

Once I realized that there was a limit I used it as a way to help me decide what cities should be focused towards.

My front line cities get command posts, archery ranges etc.
I put granary, garden and irrigation in every city to allow for a larger civilization.

I pretty much put a limited number of workshops, study, and arcane studies once I have a large (>6 cities) and focus on their specialty buildings.
