Hi,

Is there any problem with work boat? I am using patch v1.61.

It is looks sometimes when I assign work for work boat, the work boat just disappear from map. I haven't try more than 1 work boat at the same source (fish, crab, shell or etc.). But, is there any specific rules like distance from city or anything else?

Anyone please help. Thanks!

Regards,
Arto.

This would probably be better off in the General Discussions forum. However, to answer your question, Work boats are a one-time use. Once they do their specific task (such as building the improvement on a fish) then the improvement is built and the boat disappears.

Now, if the tile doesn't recieve the improvement, or if the boat DOESN'T disappear, that would be a bug.

Well, here's a customization-related issue regarding workboats: when I take workboats off the list of units Barbarians cannot build, they still don't build them. Is there some sort of scripting difference somewhere?

(They build about everything else I allow them too, and even use Great People. I suspect there's something in the game coding that keeps them from getting religions, but I've seen Great Engineers, Scientists and Artists on New World maps.)

Thanks for comment.

So, the work boat will not always change to something like boat with net?

Anyhow to check the improvement?

I'm not sure, but I think most cases it does. To check that it worked correctly, hover your mouse over the plot where you just made your work boat become a fishing boat. You'll see the info pane on the bottom-left of the screen update to show what's on that plot. At the bottom, you should see the resource (like, "Crab, +1 :health:) and just below that "Fishing Boats".

Ok.
