Linking outposts to assimilated cities is forbidden until it isn't.

And I can not for the life of me determine what decides when can I link my outposts to cities that I have assimilated (from the neutral dudes). It just seems to happen several dozen turns after assimilation. It's not culural conversion, it's not an era transition. What is it then?

Hey there,


Here are the common reasons that could prevent you from attaching an outpost to a city:

  1. City and Outpost not adjacent
  2. Not enough Influence
  3. City Stability too low
  4. City besieged
  5. Outpost being ransacked
If it's none of these options, could you provide a screenshot and/or a save so we can look into it?

I managed to locate one of the save files and I think it was the adjacency the whole time. At least in the one example I do have the city and the outpost look like they should be adjacent - but aren't (very close visually, but unconnected territories). It's very possible it's what happened in the other case as well.

Both of those saves are from BEFORE I noticed that territories are set zones and that outpost placement doesn't change the range of control. Took me a while, that one ;'D

All of it means that the fact that the city was assimilated was just a red herring all along.

Mystery solved, thanks a bunch.
