Can't build towers/forts in various regions?

[KierenXIII]

After successfully taking Cairo (Lower Egypt) on Crusades, the option to build towers and forts has been disabled on 4.3 (an option that was available on 4.2 and even in Vanilla).
Egypt - covering the majority of the Nile and not being completely desert - doesn't deserve being considered a 'desolate province'.

I was wondering if anyone knows what script to modify to allow the tower/fort construction option open.

Any help/advice on this would be greatly appreciated

Thank you for your time, Cheers!

This is a known bug in M2TW and is not caused by the mod. It is related to floods/earthquakes and only seems to appear in the southern regions. You can use the search funtion to find further information on the subject. The only work-around I know of is to disable all natural disasters in the events file.

Does this mean I will have to start a new campaign (with natural disasters disabled from the very beginning)? Surely there's another work around for this.

IIRC the ability to build towers and forts may return at a much later stage in the campaign, but I can't be sure because I disabled natural disasters a long time ago.
Please see this post (or check out the all the relevant posts in this thread regarding forts and watch towers)
disable the random flood event and eliminate the problem with the forts/watch towers

Awesome, thanks for the help

Stylix, seems you've done a lot of research on this bug. If there is a sort of toggle-switch that goes on and off with every flood, can't I just wait until the next flood to disable them from the future?
I'm about 105 turns into my campaign and really don't want to start a new one.

I believe that you can, but it may be a long wait.

errr, you all do realize the earthquake in alexandria event is scripted for around turn 100 or is it 110, so i mean that could explain why you cant build anything.

If you will read the threads in my post #4, you will better understand what is causing this problem. It is not the earthquakes, but the flooding.

Stylix is correct, I'm about 56 turns into my new campaign with Antioch...haven't had any floods (therefore no 'non-build' regions) as I have in 4 previous campaigns in that area. Thanks again for the help Stylix
