Hey y'all. Can anyone help me figure out why I can't get sea traders to show up in level 17 of Campaign Reconquered (Londinium)? I'm including two saves. The "R-17 Londinium No Sea Trade 2" save is where I've deleted all low bridges, deleted the ship bridge and shipyard that were on the edges of the map (in case they were blocking an entrance or exit), built a bunch of docks in various locations (in case it was a situation with them not being able to reach the docks where I'd planned to build them), and run it for a while to give the traders plenty of time to show up. I have, in other instances, opened all sea trade routes, tried many different locations for both types of bridges, and let it run for years with no sight of a sea trader. The "R-17 Londinium 33" save was the last save before I started seriously troubleshooting the issue, in case that could be helpful. Using Augustus 4.0. Thanks!

I think it’s because the dock location (on save 33) doesn’t have enough space for the trade ships.
I tried adding another dock with more open water space in front it. If you look at the save, the trade ships still don’t appear, but if you delete the invalid(?) dock, they do.

This might be related to a fix before on career Tarsus where a particular dock spot wasn’t allowed anymore because of trade ships not appearing. The limited dock spot area in Reconquered Londinium could be the same case.

Tried it on a recent unstable version. 2 docks present. Trade ship appears but disappears shortly after. If the dock spot indicated above is removed, sea trade resumes normally.

Once the ship spawns it decides which dock to go to. I believe if it can't reach the dock, it is removed (like a fishing ship that can't reach its wharf).

Yep! That did it! Deleted the docks on the smaller channel and up popped the trade ship. Thanks so much!
