Boat and Dimension Door spell

[vanzagar]

How do I create a boat please? I took over an AI town beside the water, and I saw a little ship icon that said "build boat" in the far left of the initial castle screen, but it was greyed out. The castle had every building in it built. I had over 20 of every resource, not sure what I needed to do to get a boat built...

Also, how does the Dimension Door spell work, I had it but when I cast it, it only seemed like I could move about 3 or 4 tiles in either direction?? I though I could move to anywhere on the map, or am I just not using it right. I had a large army too, not sure if that makes a difference or not.

Some of this stuff is not dicussed in the manual, and the on screen info is sparse to say the least...

For the boat, you need the "shipyard" building in the city. It may be allowed or not depending on the scenario. To be sure, display all the build-tree by clicking on the scroll on the far-right of the build screen and look if there is any greyed building icon.

Dimension Door has a very short range, but it can be useful to go on the other side of trees, small mountains or garnisons.
