Building Pirate Ship Problem

Post by Morbio »

Hi, can anyone help me understand why I can't build a pirate ship? Am I missing something or is this a bug?

What's the reason it says in the message when you move your mouse over the Pirate ship icon? (you'd be better to put a screenshot of that)

EDIT: fixed my grammar (sorry i'm not native english speaker). Thanks Marvin :)

You best do as he says!

I'm just teasing, I'm sure he meant to say you'd be better to put a screenshot...

There is no pirate ship icon... that's the point. There's only light, medium and heavy warship icons. I can build light and medium but not the heavy warship.

2 questions.

1) does your faction have the pirate trait? - or in other words did you conquer the region with the building?
2) have you gone beyold civ level 1? (or 2, I forget the actual threshold)

I'm Civ level 2 and I built the Pirate's lair. I've no idea if I have the pirate trait. I'm assuming so or why give me the option to build the lair?

:D No problem and I'm certain that your english grammer is much better than mine for your native language :lol:

Another coastal province has just offered the Pirate Lair as a build option, so I'm trying again... I'm wondering if it was because I already had a harbour that it isn't recognising the lair? In this new province this will be the only sea facility so let's see what happens.
