No tunnels in monopoly & corporation mode

[Shrikebe]

It is the first time I play in monopoly mode & corporations but also the first time in several weeks. I am very surprised that my military engineer can longer build a tunnel and also the preserve that is supposed to culture bomb the adjacent neutral tile did not do anything. Is this intended behavior or a bug in this mode of play?

Did you build the preserve in the second ring? Third?

Regarding Military Engineers and Mountain Tunnels. Did you research Chemistry yet? It is required for everyone except the Maya Inca, who have their Unique version built by Builders instead.

Regarding the Preserve and culture bombing tiles. Were those tiles within 3 rings of the city building the Preserve? If the tiles in question are beyond the reach of the City building the Preserve, ie on the 4th ring of tiles outward, then the Preserve will not claim them.

For that matter, no culture bomb acquires fourth-ring-or-more-distant tiles in Civ VI.

Inca have the unique mountain tunnel, not Maya. Agree with everything else.

Thanks for the preserve reply. It was indeed on the 4rth ring. I did not see that in the dictionnary. For the engineer..it was weird because only very late in the game it was possible to make tunnels but I did no longer pay attention what the trigger was. I know that in the past when I had railroads (and that is the moment I start creating the military engineers I never had a situation where I could not yet build a tunnel. Maybe it shifted somewhat in the tech tree. Oh well not a big issue. I will find out..:)

As someone said, the Trigger is Chemistry

You need to research Chemistry for Tunnel, which is Modern Era
Engineer is Medieval, there is a HUGE amount of time that the Engineer can't build tunnels.

Railroads require Steam Power
Chemistry require Sanitation
Sanitation and Steam Power are adjacent to each other, but not connected, so its completely possible to have 1 but not the other

Hell, you can even research Flight without Chemistry
