Uranium and allows units/trade bug?

[jdbruce7]

Two things I've noticed in more than one game I've play with Warlords:

1) I've had several games where I had a Uranium mine in my terriory and yet I couldn't build destroyers/battleship/transport/etc. I had the proper tech and the civpedia says that these units require oil or uranium.

2) I couldn't offer my second source of uranium to another civ in trade.

Do you require the manhattan project before you can trade unranium? Or build units that require them?

This is a change in Warlords. You need one technology to reveal uranium, but you need another (Fission?) to actually use it.

Well, that makes sense. I'll have to check the 'pedia. I don't think they updated the text in the civpedia to reflect this change.

Thanks, I'll check this out next time I'm in this situation.

But "use" means the same as, in this case, mine. He has a mine.

No, in the case of Uranium at least, "use" means to know what to do with it. It's faintly ridiculous to have a nuclear warship before you can build a nuclear plant, isn't it?

Yes, as it turns out, physics reveals unranium, fission allows its use. Funny, though that I can mine it before I can use it.

oh, and the civilipedia mentions this, too. I just missed it in my studies.
