View Full Version : fleets in the caspian see - what´s to change in descr_regions for that
would be pleased over help how to change something to be able to build at least smallfleets in the caspian see.
wanted to build a dock in Kabalaka to have ships for troop-transportation from Gava-Mazsakata - but seems that no docks available to build around the caspian see.. which i actually dont understand: pirates have ships there but the new persian empire is not able to build ships?
is it possible at all to change something in the EB/Data - in this case maybe descr_regions - to be able to build fleets there?
..but dont know what exactly i should change there.?

Caspian Sea belongs to the ocean province, it is hardcoded that pirates can spawn there.
From the FAQ
Q:Why can't I build any ships in the Caspian area?
A:Because historically the area was more an amalgam of mercantile and commercial interest as well as adding to the fact that the northernly reaches were sparsely populated steppes, which further diminished the competitive factors and rather bolstered local enterprises. While there was certainly a local industry for building transporters and such to a lesser extent, and some scant trade by sea, no Parthian city in the area supported any significant port, and there was no economically competitive nor significant factor in the northern reaches, thus as a consequence there is no reason to expand any industry of transporters beyond local needs, let alone vessels of war or to drastically change economical prospects that historically remained the same for several centuries. Out of all the great waters, the Caspian Sea, beyond rich stocks of fish (The famed Persian sturgeon), and in spite of rich coastal areas, in particular the fertile Albania and well-watered Hyrcania famed for her dense forests, clearly did not carry the same potential as the Black Sea or the Persian Gulf. Add to the the fact that the Sarmatians to the north did not share the same taste for commercial enterprise as the Parthians to the south. Hence, the Caspian area is not very lucrative at all in matter of trade. You can still build sizeable places of trade, but not beyond the possibilities for expansion, let alone a base for a navy.

thanks Xsamatan - yes the move_character function would be the easiest for this purpose - so actually i have to withdraw my request for modding in descr_regions ..Tellos Athenaios told me that would be not save game compatible
anyway - printed out your great Guide for that and tried it yesterday first time, (works perfectly) ..really very useful - thanks for this great Guide
