Do deer also turn into nightmares in hell? Or frogs even? Or do they remain deer? In my current game, Hyborem spawned right to the uninhabitable North of my civ, and I was waiting forever for that deer tile to become a nightmare before I banished Hyborem. It never did change - AC counter...

Perhaps hawks should only be able to scout terrain until a later tech, after which they can also spot units. Actually the only thng that limits my use of them is that they don't have an auto-recon feature.

I think their world spell is very strong, it allows you to use all of your units save one for each city in a war without fearing retaliation (for 30 turns). Somewhat late in the game, 30 turns can seem pretty much forever. It's much more impressive as a tool of war than I thought it would be at...

That's a weird mechanic. Someone please help me understand the rationale behind this? Thanks for the solution btw, I'll try it out.

Quick search did not produce relevant results. I'm playing a Noble Pangaea Bannor game (patch .41j), and as soon as I finished researching Righteousness all my cities lost the entry for building crusaders. I can still build Confessors (and Sphener). My cities that were set on always build...

Ok, I just worldbuildered 80 demagogs into a new game and found out that they do require maintenance. On the subject of reformatting the mana nodes to law, that's interesting. Usually I keep the Fire / Body / Enchantment nodes but seeing as my stacks all have Guardsmen my mages are unlikely to...

What about supplies, they can be sacrificed for buildings as well. I wonder if they work on settlements.

I don't know, usually when I try to mass conquer I hit a point where I can't sustain my economy due to my inability to build courthouses. Then again, previously I had mass built champions instead of demagogues (I only found out that demagogues have no support cost yesterday). Also, being unable...

Could a case for a perpetual Crusade be made? I've found that after enabling Crusade my cash inflow shoots up. Granted, there are certain things I cannot build but some things can be prepared for (stockpiling settlers for example). The biggest downside to Crusade is that you cannot enter...

.41j I'll try to recreate, maybe my memory is clouded with past versions?

Yes, he's pretty much the reincarnation of Orthus: bangs head on wall, repeat until dead. Most likely reason is that I'm usually in a war when the gate is finished, Basium seeks out my enemy without gaining XP the peaceful way, then goes into a fight without support and without promotions.

I find that Basium charges into certain death on his own, usually 5 turns after the gate has been built - so he tends to have zilch impact in my single player games. Shouldn't he get March from the start to make him last a few turns longer?

Sphener should become superduperSphener after visiting the Seven Pines. Or at least get a Mithril Weapons promotion (read his fluff).

Can Grigori adventurers be resurrected with the Life III spell? Similarly, can Grigori build Shrine of the champion after the first adventurer dies? Or do Grigori simply lack a national hero?

Hehe, I know what you mean. This was my situation this afternoon (just look at it). The city got swarmed by barbarians and there was no clearing for me to attack them in. Eventually they did attack my city which netted me a Combat I, Shock warrior. After that it was easier to defeat them. I got...

Heh, since I installed patch i I've been getting owned and owned. For one, it teaches me that this game isn't Sim City. :lol: My games pretty much go like this: explore area, expand somewhat intelligently, then at 10 units or so I start to have to lower my science% to pay for all that. Either I...

If the maluses are cumulative, does that mean that a malus total of >= 100 always auto-defeats the other unit? Suppose I attack a Demonic Champion that is defending a city with a unit that has Shock, Demon Slaying and City Raider (malus 110%), or even a City Raider III unit (malus 110%). The...

Thanks again! I'll have to rethink my views on promotions entirely now... one last question: how do I check which promotions apply a bonus and which apply a malus?

Ah, I missed that part where you said percentages are added together, not multiplied. That means my calculation was wrong and should be the following: Crusader (6:strength:, +1 holy, demon slaying I) 6 * 1.4 + 1 * (1.4 + .25) = 10.05:strength:
