help - how would i add ship building capacity to the cities surrounding caspian?

[KARTLOS]

I have done it before but I have forgotten how, i would be very grateful if anyone could explain.

First of all you don't need it, unless you want to hold a naval parade. Really, in my AS campaign I have yet to see the first pirates emerging there. (250 BC).

In any case: it's some hidden resource which you've got to add to the province resources - something like naval_port or some such thing.

.
its not for pirates its for convenience, i want to build a navy their if i am bactrians, haysadan etc. i know it is not historical, but i feel it would have been posssible. besides the travel times for horse units to travel around it are far far too slow in my opinion.

[Tellos Athenaios]

Well if you must. But what direction do you go to then? I mean my AS cavalry covers the Wes-East distance through Hyrkania in 1-2 turns. (With highest level of roads, but still - to build a navy for shipping horses seems a lil' overdone to me.)


Anyway good luck with getting this to work - if anything it can be very statisfying to see you can get things to work.

its more sending troops north-south diagonals actually!

Huh. It's the same year for me and there's five pirate fleets floating around the southern shore of the Caspian--and one is blockading one of my ports there...and there's nothing I can do about it!


Ah well, like sea trade there is huge anyway.

Just build up a fleet else where, then use move character to move it into the caspian, go on a short anti pirate rampage, and then move the fleet back to the med again.
