    Default Problems with the New World

    Alright, now in my campaign, I have 6 carracks carrying my armies across to the new world, the one problem is that it will only let my carracks get halfway across the ocean. Carracks are the best naval unit Hungary can get so does that mean that Hungary just can not get to the new world or am I missing something

    I don't think that carracks are able to cross the ocean. You need to wait for either the cogs or the holks to come into play. Just out of curiosity, are you just rushing there without it being discovered yet?

    Carracks can cross the ocean - holks and cogs cant.

    But yeah...you probably have to wait until the world is round event, and the discovery of the new world.

    They should be able to. Like DigitalMarine said, you might have to wait for the event. Has the event happened already?

    If so, do you have any mods installed that might be interfering with the Carrack's natural ability to cross the ocean?

    Yea, it won't let you if you don't have those world things ready yet. In my campaigns I haven't gotten them until theres 60 or so turns left.

    Carracks , Grande Carracks , caravels , and baglahs can only get u to the new world . You need 2 events : The World is Round (opens the Americas to the map) , and the gunpowder is invented event (gives the ships)

    Exactly! I didn't realise though that the event the world is round comes EXTREMELY late...which is a shame. But then Aztecs get easily crushed.

    You can only build carracks, etc. once you receive the "World is Round" event. That event enables you to build naval dockyards which enable you to build carracks. Carracks can cross the ocean. I played with Hungary as well, and did conquer the New World. Also, the "World is Round" event occured in the year 1400 for me. By 1452 I had the Aztecs all killed off.

    The world is round event is somewhat random, so it will occur at a different time every campaign, theoretically. Just like the Mongul invasion.

    You could mod it to make the event happen during 1250-1350 i did but it was still a massacare for the aztecs. What are the benefits of playing the game through the 1400's to the 1500's????
