Have you done anything like chopping forests or disbanding units in the city lately? If so, you can't build there.

Also, you are not allowed to rush a building or unit and then switch to GW.

everyone knows that the Hoover Dam can't be built in America, geez...

Actually, I've had the same problem with the Hoover Dam, but that it couldn't be built in certain cities (with rivers)

When in mobilization only war infrastructure can be build. You nedd to sign peace with one civ, before you can switch back to normal builds.

Then you need to declare war on somebody and after that sign a peace treaty. Mobilization will then automatically switch to normal again.

This is because you at any time can switch to war-time economy, but only switch back by signing a peace treaty.

Perhaps I'm wrong, but Detroit is not on a river (its near a river) so it cant build Hoover Dam.

It has a city in its city radius, which is enough to allow it to build the Hoover Dam in Civ 3 rules, IIRC. For anyone who wishes to know what you can and can't build when mobilized, have a look at Catt's excellent Fundamentals of Mobilization Revealed. The Hoover Dam is one of the wonders you are not allowed to start building when mobilized.

I thought the city had to be on the river, not just have a river in its radius. Same rule as aqueducts.

Nope, Vulture is right.

Except that you need a river and not a city in the city

Hmm... I'll have to try that out later. From what I recall in actual play, the river had to be right up against the city. Then again, I'm getting old and losing lots of brain cells to various vices.
