I need help!
Is it possible to build a "Factory Ship"? I have tried but it seems there is some kind of conflict between 'frigate.tactics' and 'factory.tactics'. I used a Frigate and it shows the upgrade Techs but I can't get it to show the food, wood, or gold buttons.(Admittedly, the 'row,page,column', thing trips me up a bit too.) I also tried using a factory and making it a water unit with a ship anim, it sort of works but the dock won't build it.
I have the same problem turning a fishing boat into a Gunboat...it will carry troops but won't shoot. I've tried modifying a caravel with a fishing boat anim and that won't quite work either. Same with a canoe. (I like river war scenarios where ships can't go. Fat rivers take up too much of the map.)
I managed to make a galleon that (kind of) builds other ships, a sea-borne shipyard with the Dry Dock anim on top of it (looks cool!), and if you pull close to the bank itwill let you build a fishing boat... but for ships it says "You are too far from the shore to build..." I've tried to decipher all the tags and flags to get around this but I know it is a conflict between the shore and the water (i.e.,buildings and ships) Surely there is a way to make it amphibious or something. If anyone knows, I'd appreciate any thoughts.
One other thought...is it possible to have a Town Center on a ship with the HCShipments going straight into garrison? It just seems to me that a Pirate culture with no land base would be a real fun challenge.
{I saw Mr. SCP's video on creating custom units and I went a little crazy making them, now I can't stop!}
