[0.980] Conquering Pariden Essence Bug

from Stardock Forums

If you're another nation that can build scrying pools, when you conquer a Pariden city with a scrying pool; you lose the essence.

I took over a lvl 4 research city.  Before taking it, I see 4 city enchanments; after taking it I can only cast 3 city echantments and it says it has only 3 essence.

Are you sure, that the Scrying Pool is still there? Buildings get usually destroyed, if you don't have the necessary requirements.

I had Enchanters and scrying pools got destroyed when another non-Enchanters player took them over.

yes, scrying pool still exists.  After conquering it shows 1 less essence available than the number of city enchantments cast on it.

If i demolish the scrying pool, I lose another essence.  So it's missing 1 essence.

What other faction were you playing? Custom?

Moving this to Support might help it get noticed.

In that case, we have yet another Essence bug. You should move this thread to the support forum. Otherwise, the devs might miss it.
