MTW Question 'bout water transport?

[m52nickerson]

hmmm, i've tried that (pressing 'v')and nothing happens, along with most of the other key tips on the campaign map ('z', 'x')...which version does that work in? do you have to have VI?

Yes, the 'v' command only works in VI.

[matteus the inbred]

brilliant, thanks mate...reckon i have some installing to do this weekend! and there was me thinking the keyboard had stopped working again...

[TonkaToys]

Yes, the 'v' command only works in VI.

The V works for me without VI but with the patch - not that it matters, you should put VI on... I will as soon as I finish the campaign I am on.

A quick question.

If I declare a crusade, can I use the naval transports of other catholic factions?

[ezoons]

I don't think so

[Ciaran]

Definitely no, other christians can even blockade your crusade, something they don´t dare when it´s travelling on land.

[lugh]

No, but I could swear the AI crusades use anybody's hipping lanes when they feel like it.
Something I'd like to see in a future game would be a way to negotiate passage with a catholic fleet. The fourth crusade hired the entire Venitian navy to transport them and secure their supply route!

[Ludens]

If I declare a crusade, can I use the naval transports of other catholic factions?

Yes, if they are allied to you. I don't think crusades can use the ships of neutral factions though, and enemy ships will blockade your crusade's passage.

[rvg]

Neutral Ships are fair game as well. Germans used my ships for their crusades on many occasions.

Thanks... that's something to consider next time the Sicilians and/or Italians offer me an alliance.
