Trouble talking to Champions

from Elemental Forums

I can understand that some champions (heroes) are so expensive I can not afford them.  the talk dialog comes up with a red mark on it.

However, sometimes, there are champions that appear to be quite hireable.  I get the nice "talk" cursor.  I ahve my Sovereign right next to them.  But when I right click on them, nothing happens.  I have checked that they are independent.

 

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Joel

Hmm.  Have you tried to save and reload?

 

What is your Sov's Chr, and does he/she or your faction have any traits that make hiring champions harder? 

 

There is a flaw, I think, in the tech tree.  Sometimes you can't hire champions or marry children based on what techs you have researched, and it can be strange.  If you have researched nothing, you can hire and marry just fine, but get into some strange middle zone where you have researched just a little, then you can't.

The point where it prompted me to post the note was late in the game (I won on Quest), when I had researched hero levels up, quest and notable levels up, etc.  My Charisma had even been increased at least twice from books.  (And it did not start out bad.)

 

If there is a reason, I would suggest to the devs that there be some sort of feedback indicating the problem, rather than a click with no effect.

 

Thanks,
