I think you are mixing 2 things up:Gah, I think I'm being stupid. I can't seem to build any guilds at all.
I've done the reasearch and had the box appear explaining that guilds are like corps etc.
I've managed to get 2 Great Engineers but I can't seem to be able to build the "Grand Mastercraftsmens Guild" which i believe is the pre-requisite for building the individual guilds.
Can someone point out how to build the "Grand Mastercraftsmens Guild" so I can try to establish at least 1 guild, if nothing else to help me try and understand how they work. (I understand the Coporation side of things, but i'm lost on getting that first building sorted for guilds). i couldn't see any reference to it in the original post, only that you need a 'special' type of forge.
Cheers folks. Apologies if I'm being dumb and missing something blooming obvious!!
mastercraftsmen are : master fletcher/outfitter...Etc they need the tech and 1 GC for the 1st in your civ. next ones can be built.
for guilds...
I don't know: in my game, reaching iron working, I could, with 1GE, have the "found stonefire guild" button. I just don't use it as guilds don't work well yet.
I'll check your "issue" this evening as I'm not sure we are speaking of the same thing.
