[Beta 3] [Bug/Gameplay] Transport ships: board and unboarding problem

from Elemental Forums

The boarding and unboarding of ships seems to work randomly. I entered a ship with my sovereign (needed 3 turns for that already until he finally walked on the ship). Now at the new shore I want him to step out and explore the land by fott, but he refuses to leave the ship. I either miss something or it just doesn't work as it should. My suggestion for this issue, copy the feature of other games where you have a button on the ship unit to unload all its troops or pick one.

Yeah, same here except I can't board a transport ship at all. I was only able to board a transport ship by having my units garrisoned in town and then clicking on the ship. If they are not garrisoned, I can't load them onto a ship at all.

I think you can only disembark a ship at a beach (or maybe a harbor).  Are you at a beach?

I've only built one boat, so this is something I haven't tested over and over again...

I had four soldiers, a frigate, and my sovereign in a city.  I tried to move them all out into the ocean.  Only the soldiers and frigate moved out.  I couldn't get the sovereign to board the boat.  I tried unloading the soldiers first, and then getting the sovereign to enter.  I tried going back into the city, going onto a beach tile...couldn't get the sovereign on board at all.

Yes, I did it all on a beach. I was able to disembark fine, but I could not load up my transports once my soldiers were unloaded.
