how do you get corvus quinquireme in barbarian invasion?

[xanthippos]

i have some corvus quinquireme in my eastern roman empire campaign but i can't see a building to retrain them? (i had them from the start) so how can i get corvus quinquireme in BI?

[Armchair Civilian]

You can't in vanilla BI, so either something's been modded or your installation is corrupted :(

[xanthippos]

maybe you just get it when you startt but you can't retrain it?

[Armchair Civilian]

i never got one on my (pre-steam) copy, i distinctly remember being mildly disappointed by the lack of naval variety in BI back in the day.
if you want to double-check, have a scour of your building browser to see if any buildings enable it.

i just checked some ERE campaign on yt and there is indeed a corvus quinquireme (black sea)
i think you just can't retrain it then atleast i haven't found any building for it

[hagakuremoi]

Xanthippos is correct, there is one corvus quinquireme, but I cant find any option to retrain it.

Well, that's new
i stand corrected, there IS indeed a corvus on the Steam edition!
And no, i can't see a way of retraining it either, my guess would be that unless it requires Rome or somewhere else outside te ERE borders, it's a glitch brought in by the reversioning to Steam edition

[xanthippos]

well i will see if its only steam gonna try to install my old cd version

[xanthippos]

well couldn't get it to open any more

yeah, Gamespy shut down a while back, at which point all games that used it ceased to function - including civ 4, another of my favourite games ever
in THEORY, those of us who had a cd copy of such games can use the key to get a free steam edition, in practice it doesn't always work

[xanthippos]

yes i got my steam version like that and gamespy is only for multiplayer i played after it shut down on my dvd key prob just to many scars on it
