Bug or sec: Can't BOTH irrigate and mine hills! Remove this text

In Test of Time, if I mine an irrigated hill, it loses its irrigation; if I irrigate a mined hill, it loses its mine. This probably applies to terrain subtypes also, since I tested this out carefully on "wine".

This is definitely a difference from civ I, where you can irrigate and then mine. I did not find a note on this problem in any of the three books I have on civ 2 and ToT (including the manual), although perhaps I did not know where to look.

Bug or Spec? And if a Spec, where is it documented??? Does CIV II behave the same?

It is not a bug. That is the way it is in Civ2.

Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

You can do both using the cheat menu, of course, but I haven't paid attention to whether it has any actual effect or not.

Support Apolyton, buy Alpha Centauri

Actually Ghosh, if you do both on the cheat menu you get farmland, not irrigation and mining.

Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

There is no way to have both an irrigation improvement and a mining improvement on the same square. I don't think you could do it in Civ either, but I could very easily be wrong on that one.

no you can't have both irrigation and mining anywhere. its the same on deserts. and if you have the mining and irrigation flags toggled in cheat mode it does indeed become farmland. otherwise they cancel each other.

it has been this way since civ 1. :P

Tired of ads?

Then this restriction should be clear in the documentation and civilopedia, shouldn't it?

Since the Orders menu is specific to a situation, it would be nice if the orders said, e.g.:
Irrigate (remove Mine)

And WHERE is this discussed in the manual?

ANyway, I'm sure I'll remember this from now on. Thanks for the responses.
