The ports are all built by the sea, although the ships do not arrive there. A expedition could never be started since the start of the game.

So AI can only build shipyards on sea and not on lakes or rivers. Or second suggestion: We define a size "yard", which can placed on maps like "port". ("port" as a size modification of "big" and "yard" as a size modification of "medium") Or third suggestion: We add AI hints, so the AI should only be build shipyards next to a port. (Like the code for ware supporters. A port supports building of ships and a shipyard needs a supporter.) Edited: 2020-09-24, 06:49 Top Quote
