BUG: Great Admiral spawned in a lake and cannot leave.

[bbufa]

Patch 1.0.0.216 bug still here!!!
If dev doesn't want to fix this, at least there should be an option to choose the city for each type of great people to spawn.

I had the same issue. All my great admirals were spawned in the city with Huey Teocalli and a harbour. I have the Summer 2017 Update.

There is a solution though:
1. Open the file "Units.xml" (it is located in ..\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Sid Meier's Civilization VI\Base\Assets\Gameplay\Data\Units.xml)
2. Make a copy of Units.xml if you like to play it safe
3. Go to line 671 (or the line with "UnitType="UNIT_GREAT_ADMIRAL" " in the section "<Units>")
4. Change "DOMAIN_SEA" to "DOMAIN_LAND"
5. Start or restart CIV 6 and load your save game
6. Be aware that you won't see the change until the next turn

You can now move your great admiral as if it was a land unit. Including transferring it to another city.

hi. I have same problem and that solution seemed to be very good... but I think they changed something. I tried it but it do not work. I even changed all other *.xml where I found the admiral ... but no results.
It seem like the game use another units.xml .... but I coulnd't find.

some idea?

Yup.. two Admirals stuck and can't even end turn without shift enter =)

This is a case study in where not to build harbors.
Just because you have the pop to build another district doesn't mean you have to.

But for many other cases GS may provide a solution/workaround: canals and/or Panama Canal.

Okay, that's amusing.

Have you tried deleting them? Click on the + near the unit options. Note that I've never tried to delete a Great Person before and therefore do not know whether it's possible.

The question here is why build a harbor in this lake?

To get another trade route slot?

Just pay attention which harbor city has the biggest population then you won't have this problem. Otherwise, try putting a builder on the lake harbor to make it invalid.
