[Spoilers] Lurker Thread - No Players!

Krill's Whales. Can't live with 'em, can't complain without 'em.

Any idea what's going on with MH and the work boat? It looked to me like the lake has sufficient tiles to allow boats.

He can't build workboats because of that coastline river.

Yeah not sure what's up with that - I just redrew the river to not touch the coast.

One problem that is annoying - Yuris is still getting a better start there - that plains hill probably shouldn't be there, which I just didn't catch. At least he has to settle T1 for it, so that helps a little, but it's still not ideal. Such is life.

Ok guys, I redrew the river, and the problem still exists. Here's how I drew it:



MH still cannot build a workboat, so the river isn't messing it up. I did triple-check that those tiles there are "coast" tiles, and you can tell by tile yields that they are in fact coast tiles. I did no water editing here, so I'm honestly at a loss as to why this is happening. Any ideas at all? If you've seen this kind of thing before and you know what we need to do here, reply or add me on gchat - realmsbeyondscooter at gmail dot com

I'm stumped honestly. Might try a few things just to see what happens.

Ok this is REALLY strange:



I did a WB test where I gave him some extra cities, the Great Lighthouse (in another city), currency, Sailing, etc... So this city is recognized as Coastal for sure:

1) It gets Lighthouse trade routes
2) It can build a galley
3) It can build a lighthouse

Other cities of his are doing the same thing:






I'm lost. The only thing I can think is that it has something to do with player swaps, but in the WB file it still had him listed as having Fishing. Also, his tech screen:



It's obviously there. Here's the final WBSave:

Yeah I knew it wasn't the river from my testing (see post in his thread). The only thing I coudl think of was that the lake wasn't big enough, but its way more than 10 tiles.

Actually...does a lake need to have a seafood resoruce to allow a workboat?

Darrell

[darrelljs]

I added Fish to the lake from teh file you uploaded, and that allowed a workboat.

My guess is when you added the extra cities you created a canal to a lake with seafood.

Oh good call. So it's not actually a bug then - it's acting as it should. I'll let MH know and hopefully things will be moving again.
