Upgrading to samurai.

[IthacaMike]

We have established that
(a) you have acquired Chivlry (you can make Samurai)
(b) the town you are trying to do the upgrade in has a barracks
(c) you have access to Iron (you can make Swordsmen) (Samurai do not require Horses)
(d) You have enough gold to do the upgrades

I'd open the editor and check the upgrade paths. On mine it goes Chariot ---> Horsemen ---> Mounted Warrior ---> Knight ---> Rider ---> Samurai ---> War Elephant ---> Cavalry -/-> Cossack -/-> Panzer

I've used the convention that "--->" means the LHS upgrades to the RHS and the LHS had its Upgrade Unit Special Action flag checked. "-/->" means the LHS upgrades to the RHS and the LHS had its Upgrade Unit Special Action flag un-checked.

If you upgrade paths don't include the UUs then that could be you problem right there.

Chaotikvisions, I took out the last Chinese city to end the war, so I had a clean coastal line back to Japan, which is why I can build samurai.

My first reply back from Infogrames was you cannot upgrade to a UU. I let the techie know he was in error, and await his reply.

IthacaMike, your suggestion sounds promising. Now where's my editor? My Civ3 disk contains a CarbobLib Installer folder, a Civ3 ReadMe file, a Civ3 Installer, Game Sprockets 1.7.5 folder, an Open GL Installer, and a Sounds folder. None seem to contain the editor. (It's possible that Macs didn't get one, by the way.)

Oops, silly Firaxis techie. I upgraded 20 horsemen to Samurai last night. Now, it's true that pre-1.16 you couldn't do that, but that was a while ago.
