1066 - Shire Courts built: 0/6

[PaulC2K]

I've built 6 Doomsday Shire Courts and yet the briefing display says ive built 0/6.
They're built in: York, Lincoln, Stamford, Nottingham, Warwick, Stafford & Chester. They're all outside the 8-tile requirements, so i cant see what the problem is.

One thing ive noticed is that all the cities have the 'occupied' chains on them, and they'll continue to be unhappy until a courthouse is built. There is no courthouse, aside from the doomsday shire courts, and they've got them.
On 1 turn i did notice it changed to 1/6 however that returned to 0 and its stayed there for quite some time. Im now on turn 50, with 20 left, and i cant see what im supposed to be doing to complete this scenario.

Also, am i supposed to capture London and build the Doomsday wonder, or is that the English scenario? Im playing as Norwegian Vikings if that makes any difference.

You would think the scenario description is there for a reason....Victory conditions are the same for all 4.

So yes, you need to capture london, and build the domesday book wonder there. You can only build it if you have 6 shire courts, which as you already noticed, can only be build 8 tiles away from london. Thats why norway is so easy: all the cities they capture are far away from london. normandy initially only captures cities too close to london.

The briefing display isnt about you. it says who controls london, and how many shire courts they have build. Also, there isnt any happines, so whether they are occupied or not doesnt make any difference.

To win as norway, its quite easy. Capture the northen cities, and meanwhile fill in the workshop in your capital, so that after like 40 turns a great engineer pops up. You can use him to rush the doomsday book

No offense eXistenZ, but you should read the problem instead of assuming people are stupid and don't read the briefing display. The problem is that AFTER a shire court is built and says 1/6, it reverts back to 0/6 even though you can go into the city that built it and see the shire court. I have completed most of the achievements for this game, but I can't do this one because of the game glitch. If the game doesn't recognize the shire courts you have built, you can't finish the scenario.

Now that the problem has been explained AGAIN and it is not what eXistenZ thought was being asked, can someone answer the question regarding this glitch. Clearly this problem is affecting more than one person so it is not an issue of whether people understand the scenario. Thank You in advance for any help people can provide!

I have been doing the achievments on 1066 recently so I can confirm it is not a game wide bug, not that that helps those with a bug, sadly.

For the OP, your not doing anything wrong, the game is. I'd try checking the game cashe (right click on game in library and go properties --> local --> varify integrity of game cashe) and if you still have problems ask over at CivFanatic, those guys know their Civ!

[sonoyuu]

Thank you for the reply dd790. I have tried your suggestion and validated the local files. I will try over at CivFanatic if that does not work.

@PaulC2K - did you ever fix this issue? I'm having the same problem

[PaulC2K]

I think that i misunderstood that the requirement was to capture the courts AND London, but it was a long time ago and its probably not long after that post that i'd stopped playing it. Might have been that it wasnt too clear, or maybe i just misunderstood the requirement. Im pretty sure i ended up beating the scenario on that attempt, so i dont think it was a bug or w/e holding me back.

Hope it helps. Im assuming thats what you wanted the friend request for, so i'll remove it as i like to keep it down to ppl i know or play regularly with.

you should capture London for this scenario

I have this problem, I have 6 Shire Courts built, but by the time I had all six, the display only showed that I had 1/6 built...

Are you in control of London? It shows the number of shire courts built by the player in control of London. If you are not in control of London, it isn’t showing the number of shire courts you have built. When you capture London, on the next turn it will switch to showing the number of shire courts in your cities. It works fine.

The behaviour makes sense. You can count your own shire courts by inspecting your cities, so there’s no need for the game to display it. However, showing the number of shire courts controlled by the player in control of London tells you how urgently you need to capture London from them (or some of their shire court cities, I guess). If it’s showing 5/6 or 6/6, you need to take London pretty quickly before they complete the Domesday Book, but if it’s at 1/6 or 2/6, you’ve got some breathing space.
