Wth?

So I downloaded the latest version of RIFE and have been trying out some different civs. I decided to crank the difficulty up to Deity (usually Monarch) and just lost 2 straight games before turn 25 when a group of 4 str 7 or 8 elementals (air, then water) came out of nowhere and destroyed me. In both games, I watched 2-4 other civs die right before me. Where the hell did this come from?

er... I would take it that you need to drop your dificulty level a bit.
Also, you might want to try the Less Dangerous Animals Module.

I use it and something like that never happened to me.

 

[Milaga]

LDA isn't going to help that.

Were you playing with mana guardians? I think it's been reported that they sometimes break free of their mana node and eat civs. I've not seen that myself.

Are you using Fall Under?

 

[bardliam]

I am playing Fall Under - is this that random spawn the threads were talking about?

 

[Tschuggi]

Ok, seems to be fall under causing this awful spawn of holyshitkilling creatures. I seemed to be stalked by Kraken by round 1... I went to Wildmana instead and am waiting for the first patches, hotfixes or totally new versions. Too much crashes and bugs, but very much potential when finished.

Greez,

Almost certainly yes.

 

[dunedainjedi]

Yeah, either disable or uninstall fall under. That should fix your problems.

Although no promises are being made that hill giants won't eat you 20 turns in.

Like they've said, disable Fall Under. It is somehow allowing units to spawn that should not, not quite clear as to how.
