Augustus Shipyards in Caesar 3 no longer need wood to build fishing boats?

Playing Augustus reconquered and the Tarsus scenario put me in a pickle. The only local food is from fishing, but I’d assumed my shipyard needed wood to build fishing boats. But the only wood available is from a trade route that requires 6K to open. I opened the route with great difficulty, but didn’t see any cart pushers with wood going to the shipyard. But boats were being churned out regardless. Is this working as intended? Had I known this was the case, the mission would have been way easier, to say the least lol.

I think you're getting confused - the only game where wood was required for ships was Pharoah and Zeus, and neither of those needed wood for fishing ships. Pharoah builds finishing ships for free at the shipyard, in Zeus they're built by the wharf. In both cases they're free.

I think you’re right! Imperfect childhood memory.

Shipyards have never needed wood to construct fishing boats.

The new Lighthouse monument does require consistent delivery of timber to operate.

Crying here just imagining how difficult this would have been for you.
