I'm with Magister. It depends. Each plays differently which is fun because you can get a different game experience each time.

please do a search of the forums. there are a few conversations about this. there are some maps that don't do balanced resources. and for some reason, on those maps, reagents don't show. this has been a long standing problem. it may not actually be a problem with ffh as much as it is with...

yeah, like if you're aiming for the tower of mastery, or there are spells you like the best. I personally have one fire for the spells and then the rest are stacked depending on my objectives for the game. i like to stack my bonuses because in my experience, diversification is not all that...

I like the idea... it would definitely create a different strategy in terms of gunning for mana nodes - and it would dictate what mana you build. the downside is (at least with your current proposal) they all require chaos. But yeah, it would make for certain judgment calls. I enjoy using...

This has been discussed quite a bit (do a search on the forums). The problem is how maps are generated, depending on your map type and your custom game settings.

so is it now just a matter of time passing? what is the trigger which allows you to give a city to a vassal?

excellent job!

Interesting. I ran into this problem once as well. My poor vassal had two cities and one was taken by barbarians. When I took the city over, there was no option to hand it right over to the vassal. In the diplomacy windows, there was no option to gift the city either. However, a while...

i have yet to play them. *shrugs*

a less uniform/efficient way to learn specific info is just to do forum searches. that's basically what i've done to learn about game concepts (like the Armageddon counter) and the world spells and such.
