So...Hyborem pops with the usual message in the event window 'Hyborem has been created blah blah blah'.
I was busy at the time, so filed that away for later. I do like to go after him fairly quickly to help keep the AC down, stop the hellfire terrain spread and get his Gela for one of my heros.
Maybe 20 25 turns after the pop message I'm ready to go find him and see if I can take him out. I buy maps from just about everyone, but he's nowhere to be found. I scroll back to his pop message and double check that I didn't miss a death message...figuring someone took him out already. Can't find that either.
Anyways, maybe another 20 turns after that, I find the city of Dis, about 15 tiles north of my border in Barbarian control.
No hellfire terrain, no Gela in the city spot, no barbs running around with Gela that I've found - and I've been busy tracking and killing them...and no death message in the event logger - I triple checked for that.
So as far as I can tell, Hyborem popped and then...died to a Barb? Disappeared? Not sure what. His - it's? - impact on the world was extremely minimal however. Can't figure out what happened. Any ideas out there?
Even if he was taken out by Barbs - which I doubt - there should have been a death message in the event window right?
Really missed out on saving a game for this, so apologies for that. Next game I play, I'll keep a better eye on things and maybe post a saved game or two.
Anyone else noticing any issues with him?
