How did my city get inspiration at turn 13?

[Angel-Julia]

Hello, I'm playing Khazad, and on turn 13 i noticed my city had inspiration. i have no adepts(way too early in the game for that). I was wondering how my city was inspired.

the only things that have happened is that i got a random event that crime rate had been reduced(about 3 turns before), and then Loki walked through my city. he also made a puppet that is nearby. Could inspiration come from one of them or the event? I thought Loki was supposed to have negative effects to the city. inspiration vanished after a turn, though i dont mind an extra 2 beacers at this early stage of the game, that's 1/5 a turn research at my 10 beaker rate.


Edit: i just noticed that Loki has mind and chaos. he must have cast inspiration on me.
I wonder if it's the AI's use of magic that is bugged, how they cast whatever they can at the end of every turn. I thought Loki was supposed to be something to weaken enemies. it's really nice of perpentach to be casting inspiration on me. i wonder if he realises that he's at the top of my hitlist with his nearby jucy land.

Now he's standing 1 square outside of my capital casting inspiration every turn. I wish he'd move back into my city. it's not that i mind the free inspiration, though i think the AI code should really be changed that it only casts inspiration on its own cities and not on enemy cities.

Loki has several spells: disrupt (-), entertain(+) and inspiration.

yeah, but why is he helping me? not that i am complaining about the extra beacers, though i think he should be disrupting instead of inspiring my cities

The AI just uses him randomly. Entertain actually will give them gold, and Inspitation, well... +2 beakers isn't likely to do that much.

The ways of Loki are like unto Loki.

yeah, i guess the ways of Loki are the ways of Loki.

+2 beakers does help a lot when your base research is 10 beakers, that's 20% more research, nearly a library, and could mean getting agriculture a turn earlier.

well they died shortly to my wariors, just after i left them time to settle a 2nd city for me to capture.

How do the Balseraphs have their hero and he's already at your city by turn 13?

AI starts with him. Humans must build him.

Ah. Well at least it's fair then.
