Problem with sea travel to the Western Isles

I was playing a game (1.01, normal/normal, 1066 Hastings) as the King of Scotland. When at war with the Count of the Western Isles, I was not able to sail troops to the island. The message box for sea travel would appear and money would be deducted when I selected 'ok', but my army does not move.

I have not had this problem when sailing to the Isle of Man.

Does this happen to all countries trying to sail troops to that island or perhaps any island? Were you at negative gold? More info needed.


I have not had that problem with any other island, although the Isle of Man is the only other one province island that I have sailed to.

My treasury was at about +100 gold when the attempt was made. The sea travel message box would appear and money would be deducted from the treasury when I selected 'ok'. However, my sprite would remain motionless. No walking animation and no green line to show a travel route.

I have failed to sail to the Western Isles in two seperate games as Scotland but I have not tried any other countries.

This can't be reported until

a)Somebody has tried to sail to other one province island in a similar scenario

b)Somebody has tried to sail to Isle of Man in a similar scenario by another nation
 
I have succesfully sailed to the island of Ösel (which is a one province island) in the 1066 scenario. Also to Menorca and Majorca, several times. In all cases I was playing France.

I hope that helps.

[edit] 1.01, 1066 scenario, very hard/furious. Oh, and I've been to Malta too...

Sure, I'll try it out after work tonight. But just to be clear for anyone who wants to check it out. I have no problems sailing to the Isle of Man. My problem is with a province called 'the Western Isles'. It is a one province island just north of Scotland.

Ah, let us not mistake the Duke of the Western Isles, on the Isle of Man, with the Count of the Western Isles, northwest of Scotland. :)
 
Yesterday, I was having trouble replicating the bug until I realized that the situation is a little more complicated then I first thought.


- There was some human error on my part. For movement, I was clicking on the province shield instead of the Island itself. It turns out that the area covered by the province shield is actually considered the sea of Minch instead of the Western Isles.


- However, a box does appear telling me the price to travel to Minch and money is deducted when I select 'ok'. Once the message box closes, no route is mapped and no travel occurs

CK does not let a unit select a sea zone as a destination, but I wonder in this case why I even get a travel message box? When attempting the travel to other sea zones, the action is automatically forbidden without the appearance of a message box. Futhermore, I cannot bring up the message box by clicking in the center of the sea of Minch. I must click on the shield for the Count of the Western Isles to get the 'travel to Minch' message box.

I was able to replicate the above with multiple nations.
