Ship deployment bug

Two bugs associated with where new ships appear after construction.

1: Captain David D. Porter and the USS Cairo river ironclad appeared at Chicago on Lake Michigan, effectively trapping it for the entire game.
I guess that the Reb's had taking all the other possible Illinios deployment sites. Which is possible because I was using this campaign to test Eastern strategies and left the West completely unattended. Although I don't think they had taken Cairo. This was many turns ago, so I would have to dig to find the saved turn.

2: I commissioned 5 Sea Transports for construction in PA. 3 were built in Philladelphia. The other 2 in Pittsburgh! I think Philly and Montgomery should be the two PA entry points for sea going ships. Just for fun I sent them down the Ohio and Mississippi, two turns later they emerged into the Gulf!!

3: In the Ship tab of Reinforcements screen, the bottom row of buildable ships obscures the cost/price text.

Here goes;

1. Not trapped. Just click on the tab and try to move them somewhere. They will go. Pocus made it because we had same problems before.

2. Not sure about this one but it was known to happen. I'll remind Pocus about it.


Hope I helped

Something I think will get even worse as a Union player has success and gets more states to build "stuff" in, seeing as every (inland?) state adds 4 ship types (or so) to the buildlist

I just had a Conderate frigate show up in Shreveport.

Can't sail in shallow water, so Shreveport now has it's own Pirates of the Caribbean amusement park.

:grr:
