Ship building help

Howdy folks.  I'm having some trouble and I was hoping you guys could help.  I can't for the life of me figure out how to build a boat.  I've got my harbor built, but I can't find the command anywhere.  My kingdom is huge...far bigger than any game I've played yet, but I'm isolated on a big island at the moment.  Thanks for the help!

If you have your harbor built, then you can build a Transport like any other unit. Once it's built, click in the water to launch it.

Thanks for the reply AdonSage.  I don't see any ships in my unit creation menu.  Do I need to look somewhere else?

Which version of Elemental are you using? If you don't have the necessary resources to build a ship, it will show up as grayed out on the unit training menu.

I had a similar problem the first time that I built a harbor.  I assumed that it would show up as a unit to train, but it never did. I tried to design a new one looking for a "boat" option but couldn't.  So I assumed it was bugged and gave up on it.

 

In a recent game I built another harbor and was immediately able to train Transports.

 

Maybe a save/load would have fixed it?  I don't know, but I've definitely had the same issue.

Had that problem in 1.0.6  Built the harbor, could not build transports, fixed after I reloaded the game..

We need more ship units. Also need seamonsters/ pirates/sea-raiders etc. The oceans are very dead in this game. Please devs give some loven to the oceans
