[Beta2][Bug/Gameplay]Book of ___ not applying attribute to Sovereign

The various book you pick up are not increasing the skills they are supposed to when read.

I have tried this with Book of Dexterity and Book of Strength with no stat increases.

The Dex book is actually giving move points, though the Str book was increasing Str/Attack Power last I tried it.

Is that what's going on? It seemed like the dex books weren't doing much... but that might explain how my sovereign can go 9 squares

I had a champion who could move ~30 tiles per turn and had a combat rating of ~450 thanks to always getting those books as rewards for quests. Pretty much killed everything on his own, even the bone ogres and whatnot. He also had that awsome sword (+10 attack), 'Lifesap' I believe it's called. It's really easy to become too über. I basically only had this one champion and one city, while the AI had about 10 cities, and I simply did some quests and went on to win the game in a couple of turns. I know the game will be balanced with subsequent patches, though :)

The highest I've gotten myself was 160 with my Sovereign alone, but I hadn't completed nearly as many quests as I could have, and every time the AI saw me they waited a few turns and declared war on me, so I went any captured their cities.

 

The Strength books don't give you any Strength stat, they simply add to your damage rating.

I played for quite a while :)

I checked my savegame right now, and he goes 34,5 tiles/turn and has a 445 combat rating. 134 attack and 48 defense.

It should also be noted that this was on turn nr. 3331 :P

This is strange, do the inns in your game offer more quests? I think I am doing something wrong, because once a quest is done, the inn doesn't do anything more.
