Upgrade problem/bug

[Darkness]

I'm playing a huge map HoF game and I got a rather nasty surprise last night: I can't upgrade my horseman to cavalry....

Some info:
Version: Conquests 1.22f

- Researched military tradition last turn.
- Roaded Saltpeter source inside territory.
- 2600 gold in treasury.
- Definately have barracks in city (Sun Tzu's is on the same continent).

Problem:
I see the saltpeter source on the map and when I right-click for terrain info it's also there, but it doesn't show in my resources list when I press F2, so I can't upgrade...

So, what can I do about this? 'cause I really want to finish this game...

The saltpeter need to be connected a city?

Hmm, counting your experience I guess it is not something overlooked, but could you post the save or pm a link to it?

Are you trading it away incidentially?
(Maybe you had 2 sources and traded one, and one is depleted?)

It is. The road was completed two turns before I got MT

could you post the save or pm a link to it?

I will, but after I get home from work tonight...

Not possible. None of the other civs have discovered gunpowder yet...

You could always try de-roading it and then roading it up again - perhaps it was a glitch? Otherwise, yes, I would like to see a save too...(when you get home from work)!

Without wanting to post something too stupid...you have horses in the cities resource box too?

 

[Ginger_Ale]

If he has horsemen, I think he has horses...

 

[grs]

If he has horsemen, I think he has horses...

If he has horseman, he once had horses... (but I think you are probably right: he has them now, too).

 

[Darkness]

@grs: yes, I still have horses...

Thanks for the suggestions everyone, but the problem has solved itself. When I loaded the save tonight I could upgrade and I had horses in the resource box. I have no idea how or why...
Maybe it was just a glitch. And for some strange reason it's now fixed again....

Weird. Just a glitch is my guess.
Speaking of glitches, in a game I'm playing now, I have one city that won't grow when the foodbox is full. It 'lags' one turn.

It's pulling +5fpt with a granary, but at the end of turn 2 when it has 20 food in the box it stays the same size till the next turn and then the box is empty like it's supposed to have done the previous turn..
So it's actually only growing every 3 turns. Really screwed up my settler factory.
All other cities are functioning properly but for some reason this one doesn't.
Very frustrating.

I've had this exact same problem myself before (PTW, latest patch), in fact more than once I think.

Any ideas on that?

This is weird ... but it appears we know the solution; save the game, quit the programme, and start it all up again.
