Re: no Railroad

Originally posted by deadpuppy
I am currently around 1900 American. I am far beyond steam in research and have just built three city’s on another continent to acquire iron for my railroad, the source city isn’t on the water so I build another city nearby that was, and built a harbor. I have them connected and there is no blockade or even enemy territory blocking the shipping lanes, but I cannot build rail! It’s driving me nutz! I even built airports in both the source and my capitol cities but still no go on railroads.
I think it may be some bug because I can build swordsmen and the iron shows up in all my city resource boxes. It may be because I didn’t acquire iron until very late in the game. I built around it because I wanted to secure my continent before incurring on my neighbors. I’m sure I can get through the game without having rails but it means keeping 40 workers running around trying to keep up with pollution. With rails I could cut that number by ¾.
If anyone has a solution I would appreciate a reply, I got a lotta time in on this map and would hate to have to start over.
Thanks,

hi ,

some people say that when a civ has a trade embarge against you and somewhere between the ports there is a ship of those nations , then it does not go either , .......however , this is just talk , no proof seen yet, ...

what you can do is to put ship's between the 2 hsrbors , so that the squares light up , every so many you shall need a ship , ....

also , try with an airport , one to the capital , one for the resource , .....


have a nice day

Thanks Panag,
I already have airports and clear shipping lanes. I created another city at another spot closer to the main continent built a harbor too but nothing. Like I said it seems to be a game bug, cuz i have iron in all my city resource boxes, and although I know that cleopatra has iron to spare it doesn't show up as a tradeable resourse. ( I could have before I secured my own supply but she wanted my first born and all my money, don't ya just love her in her little bonnet?)
BTW my neighbors love/envy me so I don't think they would embargo me, but if they did I would simply crush them sooner (and they know it)

hi ,

okay , maybe you should post a SAV , and let us see , ....?

have a nice day

[deadpuppy]

Ok here it is, The iron is at seattle 2.
The boats are in the harbor but you can space them out enough to clear the path. I tried pilliaging the roads and existing rail, (it was a egyptian colony) I got the saltpeter in all the resourse boxes from the city to the north east but still no iron.

Appreciate the help. panag, but I think it's hopeless.

No bug.


You need coal. Thats what I expected to see. You must have coal AND iron for railroads. The French have coal right between Marseille2 and Cherbourg2. Rome has it for trade.

Go to war with France or trade with Rome.

I found a bug, but not the one you were discussing.

Using your game, I traded with Rome. They wanted wines and iron.

When I the game, I play with no music, because I listen to my own mp3's. With your game, the music wouldn't shut off even though I had unchecked the box. I even unchecked all the boxes but to no avail. This was the only bug I saw.

[Ethelred]

I turned the music off also. It worked for me. I find that I often have to turn it of, on, then off again. Thats what I did with his save.

Might be bug that it won't go off the first try. It might just be a buffer that has to be emptied though. Sometimes it goes off if I wait.

[deadpuppy]

Thank you gentlemen, I thought that little black snot in the resourse was coal, but i never realized I needed coal as well as iron for RR. I guess you learn something new everyday. I was hoping to wait for wat till I had rail but looks like I gotta go now. I'll probably go with a mpp with greece, and france, Cleo has made a hole where the greek country used to be so as soon as she attacks him again Ill be at war. I think Caesar had a mpp with her.
Will be a shame to have to attack her, I'm pretty sure shes been flirting with me
Again thanks,

Selected Unit Problem

I've looked through the FAQ and this bug list and haven't found this problem I'm experiencing:

Usually, when you complete moving the selected unit, the game jumps to the next active unit so you can give it orders, and so on. In every game I play, there comes a point where it will not jump to the next active unit; the current unit remains selected with the animated white selection circle around it, *none* of the hotkey functions work, and I have to use the mouse to both select the next unit I want to move and to end the turn. I find that if I quit and restart, the game works fine for a while, but the problem inevitably reoccurs. It may happen after I've begun giving units drag-click move orders. In any case, it's incredibly annoying, and I'm surprised no one else has found this. I don't know how it could be system-specific...

Thanks...

hi ,

what is your OS , and compspec's , .........

have a nice day

[Luticus]

Sorry --

Windows 98 SE, AMD K6-2 450 w/ 312 megs of RAM, Nvidia GeForce 2 video card, Creative AWE64 Soundblaster card... anything I'm missingl? I don't know a whole lot about hardware and such, so I'm never sure what exactly constitutes my "specs."

[Ethelred]

Have you patched the game yet? I have heard of this. You are not the only one to run into it. I think you allready have figured out the workaround. Click on a unit.

[Luticus]

Yes, it's patched. And yeah, I can go through and click manually on every single unit, but I don't think I need to explain what a drag that is when there are practically hundreds of them... Anyway, thanks; at least you've heard of others with the problem, so I don't feel singled out by fate
