Bombs....GONE?

Okies, here's the thing:

I am playing on my Dad's Puter while watching his house, so I redownloaded everything. 12.1, Complete 13 and 14 Alpha & the 14 Alpha addition. Installed everything. Everything works. But BOMBS are gone (!) from the Shopping transaction. There aren't NONE, they don't even SHOW?

Feel free to hit me for not knowing where I messed up this time.... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />
 
don't worry you. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> bombs are now reserved for the forts, as that would be historically correct. you can force the ammo supplier in the fort to give you a load of bombs though by entering by land.

<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/poet.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":hmm" border="0" alt="poet.gif" /> that realy is strange! I've got Bombs! Maybe you're living on the wrong
Continent? The only time I did'nt have them playing that Real Mode! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
 
Turning Realistic Cannons off in BuildSettings.h and starting a new game will re-enable bombs. Playing Arcade mode does not re-enable bombs.

You don't really need bombs. You can just use balls and they work fine. But like Morgan says, you can get someone at the fort to sneak you some bombs anyway. Even with Realistic Cannons on. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whistling.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wp" border="0" alt="whistling.gif" />
 
i can confirm that. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" /> but you can't sell them.
 
You would want to SELL them after ALL that trouble of finally getting them???
 
Historically speaking, didn't some of the boats use bombs to attack forts ? Or is that just in the movies?
 
no, they did. a 16th century picture has been found which clearly shows the use of bombs by ships. but, they where attacking another ship, not a fort. but i don't see any reason why they wouldn't use them against forts either. however, that would take a lot more of them, so maybe cannonballs would be more attractive to use because they where cheaper.
