ports in colonies

[unmerged(502)]

Are all ports in the game fixed? Or can you build a port in any coastal province? My mighty Russian armies have reached the Pacific and was wondering how I would get across. Do I have to build ships in Ingermanland and send them to Okhotsk or Magadan - or can I build ships there? Please explain.

All colonies will recieve a port - to build ships, however, you must upgrade the colony to a city - past level 6.

The location of ports are fixed: when there is a city in the province, the port will be there. However some coastal provinces do not have ports (as the city in it is not on the sea).
WHen you build your Russian colony on the Pacific and when it reaches the city status, you will beable to build ships there, not much at one time however.

Yes, but you can edit your province.csv to change that if you really like to (ie basicly cheat)

From what I understand, ports are not fixed in the colonies... if you build a colony then you will gain a port there. But you can't build ships there until the colony reaches a city.

ISiddiqui,
He meant that the provinces that have ports ( on the condition that there is a colony or city in the province) are fixed according the data in a gamefile, so that it isn't random whether a coastal province that is colonized gets a port or not.
