When building USA river ironclads, my favorite states to build them in are Missouri and Kentucky. That way I know they won't start out up in the Great Lakes! But as the game goes on, the option to build river ironclads in Missouri goes away for some reason. Why is that?
As for ocean-going ships, I notice that the ability to build armored frigates disappears at some point. Anyone know why?

As far as the Great Lakes go, I believe there is a canal you can sail those ships through.
You must own at least one strategic city to have the possibility of building units.
KY being an exception, right?

It's not an exception at least for CSA. If you don't hold any of the three strategic cities in Kentucky (Lexington, Louisville, Bowling Green) as CSA, you can't build new stuff there.

Actually you can. It may be that it's not supposed to be the case, which is my question. You can have control of 0 cities in KY while playing CSA in the GC and still request they be built. They'll show up if you capture *any* KY city.

This is my perception of the situation too. Altough I am not able to be 100% sure on this, but I am quite very sure I was not able to recruit in Kentucky after I lost Lexington (which was my only strat city there at the time) in a test game. Once I captured Bowling Green I was again able to recruit. Sadly I have deleted that save already, but I am pretty sure about this.

Could you clarify the definition of stategic cities? There are a total of 7 cities in KY, 3 of which contain VPs. Are we to understand that only the 3 cities with VPs are considered "strategic cities"?
While waiting for the answer from Pocus we have to rely on what the game says. The game recognises only the three above mentioned as "Strategic city", which you can see by hovering the mouse over the cities.

I wanted to quote this edit to Grey's post, above, just to be sure that everyone who already looked at the thread would see it.
Thanks for the info Pocus. That's pretty much what i figured it would be, but it's nice to know for sure.

Verifiably Prestonburg in the East must be considered a strategic city somehow in the GC. Ive had reinforcements come in through that city without control of anything else in the state.
Also, you'll see here Jabberwock backs it up:

Militia? Militia units aren't necessarily hand purchased reinforcements, since quite a few of them show up by event... as a matter of fact, I'm all but certain that the Kentucky Decides event gives both sides several militia units.
The question is, does Kentucky show up on the Economic map? Do you see purchasable units in the regular Infantry screen?

v1.11a
It might be a problem with 1.11a. I remember there was an issue with displaying objective cities with the overlay there for a while, so who knows. Wasn't there an issue with the Kentucky Decides event for a while, as well?
OR, you did own a strategic city, purchased the unit, lost the strategic city?
Just to be clear, you're saying that you don't own Lexington, Bowling Green, or Fayette?

Yes. Im not alone. I gave a linkk above where Jabberwock was saying the same thing. Frankly, Im surprised you havent seen it if youve been playing the GC. What version are you using? I dont believe any patches beyond a addressed any issues in KY.

daxil,
Same here as you and jabberwock. I am on 1.10d and can build KY units. I only play GC and same effect on PBEM or AI.
I've had all sorts of stuff appear in Columbus when I'd lost the rest of KY
