Anyone else have a problem changing the weapons on Forts and Cities? Or for that matter in adding the other options to the fortifications, bomb proof, rifle pits etc? Won't seem to let me do it.
Also is there supposed to be an upgrade path for weapons on gunboats? Can't seem to change them from muskets?

Also is there supposed to be an upgrade path for weapons on gunboats? Can't seem to change them from muskets? "Gunboats" don't seem to be upgradable. I don't know why.

If the choices are grayed out then you don't have the resources. I have been able to upgrade forts, but never tried a city. Agree with Mike that there is currently no choice to upgrade gunboats.

OK so even though gunboats say "musket" they can't be upgraded. Fine I am guessing that "musket" isn't what they were armed withanyway.

As to the Cities/Forts problem seems ok if I upgrade one well away from the fighting but if any enemy units are in the same state (not necessarily province) they don't seem to be able to upgrade.
Should partisans and raiders count here?
Need to do some more "investigating"

An enemy in the same provice prevents upgrades. Only being in the same State should not prevent upgrades AFAIK.
