astradyne, dll, good afternoon. Unfortunately, I only saw this thread now. I looked at the attached save file, and it seems that in your case, two rare situations coincided: 1) sometimes there is a bug in cities with the boat; it is not nearby, but it is displayed in the shipyard window, and therefore it cannot be built; 2) by opening the map with a cheat, I realized that the reason why it is impossible to summon the boat is that it is not on the map; none of the computer players created ships or sailed at the time of the save.

In my defense, I can say that I completed this scenario twice, and there were no problems. As proof, I am attaching a save file before the final battle. Regarding the excess of resources, it is advisable to follow the following algorithm when completing the map: you upgrade the starting hero's diplomacy as soon as possible, and then focus all resources on gold to recruit suitable neutral stacks. With this strategy, troops in cities become not so necessary at a certain stage 🙂

Regarding the events, by opening the map in the editor, you can see that they are located in front of the units standing nearby. But often, when entering the event cell, the nearby units are provoked first, a battle with them takes place, and only then the message from the event is played. Apparently, they should have been placed a little further from the units)

In any case, thank you for playing; it's a pity that you couldn't complete it.
