gunboats block province capture

Post by spruce »

I've taken Cairo, which is located in a river province. There's some Federal gunboat there - nomatter what I do I can't conquer that province - I can conquer the city (city turns red) but the province stays blue ...

Is this WAD ?

How to kill a gunboat then ?

Why does the gunboat stays there ?

I think you may have to build your own gunboat to go fight it...

really ? I was thinking the AI would retreat it cause I check the strat. map and the river province has been totally surrounded by confederate territory.

I was also thinking gunboats are more like siege artillery and not really used for capturing provinces or preventing enemy divisions from capturing a fort. I moved in divisions to capture the province - but still not effect. I tought only cities and fortresses prevented this - not a gunboat ? [:@]

Might read the manual or wait until somebody helps me out of my dream ... [:D]

Gunboats aren't supposed to block the capture of things.  I will double-check the code on this.  They should be retreating or being destroyed after the US loses the battle there, but it sounds perhaps as if they aren't in your case.  Thanks for the report.

hey Eric, can I tinker with the save files to get rid of that gunboat ? The AI doesn't seem to want to move it - problem is that supplying my troops might get tricky if I can't capture that River province.
