General Questions

from Elemental Forums

Ok, I have been playing this game for a while, and I have a few questions that I have not found an answer for yet:

1. How doe a Temple of Essence work? It says it gives a bonus to essence. Who does it affect? Units produced in the city, units garrisonned in the city, or all units? Does it affect normal units or heroes only?

2. Do your units only heal if they are garrisonned in a city?

3. Does city population affect anything (i.e. production, gold), or is it just another resource for creating soldiers? (Besides levelling up the city, that is.)

4. What is the difference between the Teleport and Teleport Friends spells? They both have the same description, but Teleport is a lot cheaper to cast.

5. Why do my spells have huge maximum damages (like 144 for a fireball) yet the damage from them is only ~7 average? Am I missing something? Is there some hidden magic defense level?

6. When you create a sovereign, you specify a Wisdom score. Is this the same as Essence? If not, how are they different, and why can't you increase wisdom?

7. What is the difference between the food and the healing potion that are available early in the game? They both say '5 hearts' on the description, which I assume means they heal 5 health, but the food is cheaper.

the only one I know is #2 they heal in your area of influence not sure if they heal faster in a city, which brings up a new buidling, Hospital

1) No clue.

2) I thought units regen a bit faster in your ZOC,and much faster (cough...) in your cities.

3) Popution permits you go from city 3 to 4 for example an gain a bonus to either research or gildar etc...

4) No clue.

5) No clue.

6) I'd like to know too :p

7) only diffence i found is that i found potions on quests,that's all i can imagine.

1) i don't see how it could affect normal units since they dont have essence. I think it just gives 25% to heros and soverigns. However, I don;t know if they need to be in the cities area of influence. That is a good question. Does having a Temple of essence give 25% to all heroes/sovs just for owning one in your kingdom? Global effect?

2)Units heal anywhere but fast in your ZOC. Now, with that said, i also remember hearing that units heal even faster IN cities than in the the ZOC but i noticed that in a game yeaterday my Sov was gaining 1 hp per turn. So i moved him into the city and it stayed the same.  So im confuesed about that.

3,4,5...don't know

6) really, really, really, good question

7, 8. don't know but would really like to know about 8

It is faction wide. Like most other modifiers, it applies no matter if a unit actually has the base stat or not. So in this case, even those without an essence stat or that aren't normal units (summons, guardian units) will get a boost.



2. Do your units only heal if they are garrisonned in a city?

 

They also heal when in your own territory at a rate of 1 per turn.



3. Does city population affect anything (i.e. production, gold), or is it just another resource for creating soldiers? (Besides levelling up the city, that is.)

 

It affects the aura of influence your city projects. At various thresholds, it will increase in size.

 


4. What is the difference between the Teleport and Teleport Friends spells? They both have the same description, but Teleport is a lot cheaper to cast.

 

Don't know.



5. Why do my spells have huge maximum damages (like 144 for a fireball) yet the damage from them is only ~7 average? Am I missing something? Is there some hidden magic defense level?

 

Like all damage in the game, it's 1 to max but it is also defended against by normal defense.


6. When you create a sovereign, you specify a Wisdom score. Is this the same as Essence? If not, how are they different, and why can't you increase wisdom?

 

It's the same. It's probably just poor consistency; it should really just be changed to essence.



7. What is the difference between the food and the healing potion that are available early in the game? They both say '5 hearts' on the description, which I assume means they heal 5 health, but the food is cheaper.

Haven't tried them myself; perhaps just when you can use tem.

1: All units

2: 1hp in ZOC, and as far as I've noticed the same in cities.

3: Besides level and recruitment base, it also affects the level of influence (ZOC)

4: None for the moment, but this is probably a bug.

5: Shards aren't working properly, that's why it's so off.

6: Wisdom actually affects casting speed, essence don't. But they should remove wisdom and only use essence to make it more consistent.

7: They have the same effect as far as I know.

8: Don't think so.
