In my current campaign I am playing as the Moors, VH/M. I took Tripoli a few turns ago and now I want to put in some watchtowers. Unfortunately, I cannot build watchtowers anywhere in the province. Does anyone know why this is?
I thought this might be an issue with descr_regions.txt file, so I took a look at it. Here is the entry:
Tripoli_Province
Tripoli
moors
Saharan_Rebels
202 17 48
none
5
5
religions { catholic 10 orthodox 5 islam 70 pagan 10 heretic 5 }
Notice that instead of saying "fish" this entry has "none" for resources. Yet on the campaign map, it clearly has fish in that province. Be that as it may, lots of provinces don't have all their resources listed here. The fish are clearly added by the descr_strat.txt file in this case.
So, I figure it must have to do with whatever kind of terrain exists in this province. I looked at the map_ground_types.tga file and it shows this entire province as a dark grey terrain type. This terrain type is really slow to move through (and impossible in the western Sahara), which is fine, but what determines whether or not a watchtower can be built on it? In other words, what do I have to do to make it so that watchtowers can be built here?
Thank you in advance for your help.
