Hyborem not spawning 0.25l?

[medusa001]

If I understand correctly Hyborem should spawns with the discovery of Infernal Pack assuming there is a free AI spot. Am I correct? Is there any other criteria that must be met?

In the past few games Hyborem did not spawn so...

1. I set up a standard size map with two players (1 Human, 1 AI)
2. No options selected (i.e. Compact Enfoced is not checked)
3. I gave the civ the relevent techs leading up to AV and Infernal Pact (AC, Myst, KoE, Philo, Way of the wicked)
4. Then researched AV and Infernal Pact "manually"

No Hyborem.

Any ideas?

The only reason it owuldnt spawn for you that I can think of is that the other civ had already spawned him. You may want to go into the worldbuilder and see if he is already there.

In my experiment, there are only two civs and I added the techs up to AV and IP so this would have been VERY early so I would be the only one to spawn him.

In addition, isn;t his appearance a world alert? Or do you actually need to encounter him like the other civs?

Would changes the the "CustomFunctions.py" file have an effect? I was playing OzzyKP's Map of Erebus which required changes. I was about to revert back to the orignal an try the experiment again.

So is he spawning by the founding of AV or researching of Infernal Pact?

Thanks

The spawning is just the result of the first player getting the Infernal Pact tech. In fact you can just give a player infenral pact with the world builder to cause hyborem to spawn (if its the first player to get it).

Hmm skeletons aren't appearing in barrows either. Not sure what patch I have though so this might have already been sorted out.

But if you give it to yourself and swithc to Hyborem you get a "you have been defeated" message before you get your units.

Then researched AV and Infernal Pact "manually"

Just checking to be sure: You researched the tech infernal pact, which is only avaliable as AV and not only the tech that founds AV?

 

[medusa001]

Correct, researched both AV and Infernal Pact. I'm not sure if the issue was the "CustomFunctions.py" file, but I changed it back to the original and thing seem to be working properly... at least though the use of the world builder.

I don't think that is true. I know I've switched to Hyborem this way at least once. (I wonder if this is somehow related to how sometimes you take over the Infernals/Mercurians before they play their first turn and sometimes after)

Interesting. Because i always got the you have been defeated message when I switched that way.

i would advise against this. Tried it once, but summoning Hyborem when AV hasn't been founded yet gives a crash when you do try to found AV (since hyborem is AV automatically, it gives a pop-up "which religion would you like to found? pretty much like the chose-religion option from vanilla 3.13).

This has been my experience also. It's far from ideal.
