Help I cant build ships?!?!

[Onehitter]

Ok I am sure that there is a perfectly logical explanation for this but dammned if I can figure it out. Quite simply I cannot build a shipwright in any provence.. I build a port but shipwright never appears as an option? I can't figure this out. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/mecry.gif
If anyone has any suggestions I would be grateful to hear them.

Thanx

Have you modified the game? If not, you might try saving the game file and copying the save game file to a new folder. Then un-install and re-install the game. Then install the patch v.1.1. copy the save game into the savegames folder. I've fixed any number of screwy errors in this fashion. Now see if it works. If not, then your savegame may be corrupted and you'll have to restart a campaign.

If not (or if you modded the game in some fashion) check the crusader_build_prod13.txt file in your game directory. See the entry (row 36, column 7) for shipyard (the requirements should be port and castle4). This column 7 states what the requirements are for each building in the tech tree. You should use the Gnome editor for this (to make it easy to read the txt file). You can download this very handy tool from the org. It's much better than wordpad. Just install it and then open the build_prod file with it.

Hi Onehitter...

Sorry if this a dumb question http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Do you have keeps in the places that you are trying to build a shipwright?...

you have to upgrade your fort before you get the shipwright option.

I'm always repeating this mantra:

Fort + Port does not equal Shipwright.

That's because I'm always saying DOH when I go to build the Shipwright and I still have a Fort and have to invest more florin in my infrastructure. DOH http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/shock.gif
