can't spread guild in crossroads

[crocodiledundee]

and obviously thats pretty important. the guildmaster unit doesnt appear in my city with the guild as an option to build.

anyone else had this problem?

Standard questions:
1. Did you choose the mercantilism civ? It is not possible to build any guildmasters with it.

2. Do you have choosen the right city? The guild's capital wasn't in the real capital in my game....

You need open borders with a civ that has clams, bananas etc... Pretty much you need open borders with one of the minor civs, or own the luxury resources it it plus the minor civ's corp's headquarters. It works that the major civs's corps replace each other, and the minor civ's corps feed the major civ's corps.

Actually, I have the same problem. The game says that the cities have no access to bananas, silk, gems, clams, or fur. Which there is none of on the map to begin with. I checked in the Crossroads Concepts section of the Civilopedia and from the wording in that, I guessed that maybe your major guild can only be spread in cities that have one of the 4 other major guilds, but no such luck, same message.

I think it mostly just has to do with the fact that the Crossroads map doesn't have any of those resources on the map.
