Call of the Titans spell

from Elemental Forums

I think it is called 'call of the titans'? The spell that calls in all units not garrisoned in a city.

 

I am playing with latest updated game on large map and last night i decided to try this spell for the first time.

Initially i had decided to try and upgrade my sovereign as much as possible before marriage. So i rushed the adventure techs and tried to collect as many books as possible as quick as possible, but still, it was a hard slog.

 

Having various hero's scattered over the map, it is an extremely tedious task to get them all home and takes like, forever! So i decided to try that spell. It worked, except that all my caravans came along as well!! That is, deployed caravans that have already turned small have all been summoned and turned back into their large undeployed size!

 

Quite a useful discovery i think! because after i have created my road network, i usually have to hunt down all these caravans manually and delete them so i can redeploy according to best monetary outcome. Have you any idea how hard it is to find deployed caravans, especially the no cart ones or the ones hiding inside buildings! Needless to say, in future this spell will save me allot of effort!!

On further consideration, repeated use of the spell as is would be seriously inconvenient!

In my previous game I used this spell when I had a few boats out in the water.

Nice to see that there is a way to get boats on land in this game.

I believe his point is, just in case you overlooked it, is that it is really hard to find caravans that you have sent out to a city only to find out you already sent one there so you need to send it to somewhere else. I don't think he meant the caravans that are travelling back and forth between cities generating gold. I remember reading that the the fix was to stop the call of titans spell from bring EVERY caravan along to the party.

Well the thing is, you use caravans for two different purposes in the game. The first purpose is to build your road network, then the second purpose is to generate gold. The caravans left over after producing roads are not at all reaching their full potential in gold producing terms. Therefore you need to delete all the road producing caravans in order to make way for gold producing caravans! But finding all the road producing caravans is a very long and tedious task which for me was pleasantly alleviated by the use of the spell 'call of the titans'.
