Riga City Upgrades

[Cardinal Roland]

I am playing as Russia at the moment and have encountered an odd problem with the city of Riga. When I try to upgrade the city I cannot. A pop up comes along and says the city is ready for upgrading so I go to it and nothing is there for me to build. I am only offered the opportunity to turn it into a castle. Turn after turn there is no wall nothing to build just to convert to a castle which I do not want to do!

Is there a problem with Riga? Have others come across this? Is there something I am doing wrong?

Any help gratefully received.

The same happened to me

Same here...it happened in the early stage of my campaign. I attacked Riga (it was under Poland control) and when I captured the town or should I say village or settlement I could not upgrade it. Well population was more than sufficient for the upgrade but...Anyway I converted it to a Castle.

That's a bug of the bigmap, not of DlV.

Same Problem here:




As you will note Riga is a village yet has wooden walls. This messes up the building browser and build queue until the population grows such that you can upgrade city walls. I looked in the descr_strat.txt file and found:

settlement
{
level village
region Riga_Province

year_founded 0
population 1100
plan_set default_set
faction_creator russia
building
{
type core_building wooden_wall
}
; building
; {
; type hinterland_roads roads
; }
}

So either Riga needs to be set to a settlement level of large_town or the wooden wall needs to go.

I deleted the wooden walls and started a new russian campaign. Seems to be fine. Took Riga as a village with about 1100 population. No walls just land clearance farming. I should be able to upgrade to a town at 2000 pop with a wooden pallisade. Will check it out.

Indeed, you are right!
I've deleted these four lines
building
{
type core_building wooden_wall
}

and the population set at 2000 (per cheat) and now riga is able to upgrade!

Good wook, Abe!
May you should tell these at the Bug thread
