is it possible to add harbors?

[flimo]

i would like a lot more harbors on the map.
i would like any city located on a coast or river to have a harbor.
so is it possible to add harbors to territories?
maybe have them added when a settlement is upgraded to a city?
just as an example from my current game, im quite sure Rome had tradegoods entering the city from the Tiber river and that likely meant a riverside harbor of some kind

They're designated in map_data/ports.csv; while it is theoretically possible to add harbours to every coastal province it would be time consuming and they either are there or not there it is not possible to trigger them on or off based on settlement status or anything else.

ok thank you very much
ill try to have a look in that file and see what i can do.
if i were to add a harbor to a coastal/hill territory, would it stick to the coast or could it end up in the hills?

looked at it
and it does look like a lot of work
i may do an area at the time
on a positive note, i can designate exactly where the harbor appears, so they wont end up in the hills if i dont place them there

tried to add a few harbors
and it works
the harbors are in the territories, unfortunately they do not show up on the map though
is there a way to make the harbor icons show on the map?

The icons might be tied to the 3d map objects located in gfx\map\map_object_data\port_locators.txt
