Harbour problem

[Heresson]

There was no such problem with FW I think, but there is with MGE.
It is that a city, if adjactent to the sea like the city on this picture, can't build a harbour

[debeest]

I don't think I've had any such problem with my MGE.

Post the save.

Do you MP Heresson?

[Heresson]

What can be the cause?

[Ljube]

Not having seafaring.

Or altered rules.txt to exclude harbour.

You are playing a scenario?

[Heresson]

Yes. And I can build harbours elsewhere. Here, I can't build naval units as well.

[Ljube]

Without the save I really have no idea.

[Heresson]

Here it is

[Ljube]

I have never seen anything like this. This is a bug, apparently.

[Heresson]

Perhaps it was made on purpose. Those two cities historically shouldn't have access to the sea - but a third one shouldn't have it as well, and has a wider one and can build harbour and navy stuff

Have You just changed your avatar, or am i wrong?

[Ljube]

Yeah, I'm playing a game called Galactic Overlord in other games forum. A great game, you should join the next issue.

I've seen this bug myself, where the game 'thinks' that there is no seacoast.

But I forget what I did to correct the problem when I last came across.

The cities can be edited using CivCity (ask in the Creation forum for a place to get it, can't remember now where) to allow/disable ship and coastal improvement building. (basically, there's a flag for each city which allows or disables this, but is only checked when the city gets founded, so any subsequent changes (either via hex-editing, or a chamge in the map) will yeld no change.

This can allow coastal cities which cannot build sea-based improvements or ships, and landlocked cities than can.

Damn
