AOD2 missionaries stopped working

[maiph]

I am a few hours into a AOD2 mod game, my colony is spread across 3 islands. On the first island I established missions in all 3 of the native villages. However on the other islands I cannot do this, the 'establish mission option' fails to appear and I am unable either to 'speak with chief', the icon does not appear any longer. Is this deliberate for outlying islands or is it a bug?

Sounds like a bug to me. Can you post the savegame?

Sounds like the missionary has no profession (wierd to say). In Col2 (fixed in AoD2 1.06) units with no profession cannot talk to chiefs. This is why ships and treasures cannot talk to chiefs. They can now in AoD2 1.06. Your missionary is displaying all the attributes of a unit with no profession. You'll have to take him to a city and reassign his profession.

Thanks Dale that's exactly what has happened. Even though the unit appears to be a missionary he is not functioning as such. Re-assigning him as missionary has fixed this, on with the game.

The understanding Dale has on this game is just freaking... awesome.

I have plenty hours on this game, but would never suspect it.

I've spent a LOT of hours playing and pouring over the code. I'd like to meet anyone (outside of Firaxis) who has a better grasp on how the game works.

Hi Dale,

I noticed that you can gift wagon-trains and vessels to tribes, and I've noticed that the WT's I've gifted are constantly moving between the villages- do they actually move stuff around or are they just following standard AI paths for the European nations (without actually collecting and dropping goods)?
