Simple question really. I scarcely end up exploring them because I almost inevitably awake Drowns. Do they have the same potential rewards land-based lairs?

@MC - Cheers for the detailed response. @Calavente - I didn't know Spiders were a separate type of HN. It could explain it. Only way to be sure would be too do testing I guess. It's a shame really. I had my eyes set on building a little Elephant army with my unstoppable Alakazan of doom but it...

Basically, I was going around with Alakazan with Capture Animal - as best as I can remember he had no problem catching Spiders for me but he keeps destroying Elephants, so I wanted to check, can HN units capture animals (or units in general on the offchance it comes up) - my best guess so far is...

Cheers for the input guys. Just a follow-up question. All of this seems to imply things taking place a little later in the game, so I take it I should build up at least a 2nd city before launching an early offensive? @sunbeam - I'm sure I'd play differently against a human but I've never...

Righto, I've gotten back into FFH2 after a long hiatus and I'm remembering why I was so hooked :lol: Anyway, the tl;dr version of this thread is: I am looking to strategy advice on how to execute an early rush successfully. The longer version helps flesh out what I have gathered so far/what...

Freaks in general. Not so much an 'ability' as how they're built but I love building them and picking and choosing what I want them to grow up to be based on their mutant abilities (and you gotta love when you get one mutated with Strong and Heroic Attack/Defence)

Aye, that's the same thing I've found, but as you said "most of the time". Maybe it has something to do with what Valkrionn mentioned, although it often happens when the Skeleton/Goblin/etc walks within attacking range without attacking on that turn :confused:

I'm not sure whether this is a bug or whether I have a problem in my settings, but I've noticed that often, my workers will continue to do their automated work (e.g. building a cottage) even if a barbarian threat enters an adjacent tile (and whilst most of the time, for reasons I can't...

I've noticed as the Balseraphs, my slaves can cast "add to freak show" without actually having a freak show in the city. Only tried this with human slaves so far, not sure if this applies to Elf, Dwarf and Orc slaves. Edit: Also, just realised I made a wolf pen with a wolf created by a Hall...

When it says "Ignores building defence when attacking cities", does that only apply to bonuses from Walls and Palisades, or does that also include the culture defence bonus? Assuming it doesn't (which I'm guessing it probably doesn't), is there any other ways to get around the cultural city...

Sorry to interrupt the discussion about these, but can I ask (for the sake of clarity): do the Noble Houses only have an effect on the game if you select the "Houses of Erebus" option? Feel a bit silly asking but I wanted to be sure.

Ah kay. I've never set work boats to automate anyway (since they're one-time use units) but I'll watch out for that.

Oh, so they can be built with Fishing Boats? Just must not have noticed the option the few times I made Fishing Boats, but at least it makes settling next to the coast a bit more appealing when I'm not playing the Lanun :goodjob: Edit: Tried it, it was successful. I feel a bit duncey for...

I've just noticed them in the territories of the Ljosalfer and the Clan, so I was wondering, how are they made? The 'pedia only lists the information about Lanun Pirate Coves, and since these are appearing in non-Lanun lands I was wondering how they are made. The only other conclusion I can come...

I know this thread is a bit old so I'm kind of bumping it from the dead, but something in the original post that I wanted to chime in my opnion/support with: This part does get on my nerves a fair bit, simply because a lot of resources found at Calender appear on Forest tiles, so in order to...

Well, it's a credit to the artist then. He/She created the effect he/she intended :)

I always thought Deirdra was a male (albeit, a very feminine looking male) until I noticed Falamar giving me the "You Are Charming" attitude bonus and then reading her 'pedia entry. The name is rather obscure that, whilst it sounds more feminine than masculine, it could pass for either. Her face...

Playing as the Lurchuirp I got the Minister Koun event, and allowed him to spawn. Along with a bunch of Archers and so forth, I noticed when scrolling my mouse over his city that he appears to have two Barnaxus units (I'm not sure whether he built them or they spawned, I only just noticed them...

Is there any real purpose to using Sorah and Ecks at the moment? I gave them a quick spin with world builder to try out the Joining and all it did was summon a random civ as my team-mate. As it stands "the Joining" just seems like a bad Mercurian Gate (I say bad since the new civ doesn't spawn...

Cheers. I did wonder to myself if it'd have been better to ask in the basic Civ4 forums but I wasn't sure if FFH2 had tweaked anything in this regard. Edit: Wow. That was a lot more complicated than I had anticipated :eek:
