You can get help here if Freeciv doesn't start on your computer, or if you keep getting fatal errors while playing etc.

Load units in ships

Post by jpsm »

I'm experiencing a bug that only frigates can load ships and more advanced units do not so if I upgrade to Ironclad or Transport (if is it not for Transport why this name?) it can't load units. This is a lot annoying because interrupt my cities expansion after I get a bit more technological advanced. It would be interesting that more advanced ships too load units.

Frigates and Ironclads should be upgrading to Destroyers – the Galleon is the one that's upgraded to a Transport, and they should very much be able to transport units.

The exact specifics depend on which ruleset you're using, but you can generally check the in-game help browser for information like that – in the entry for Frigates, it should mention their transport capacity, as well as what they are obsoleted by.

But yeah, it's a bit weird for a unit to lose its carrying capacity as it's upgraded; again, this might be different in other rulesets.
