Couple of observations

from Elemental Forums

Just a few things I've noticed and wondered if anyone elses has experienced the same.

 

Killing dragons: +1 Essence for every tile in about a 2 tile radius (may be off on that). Got a town up to 5(!) Essence this way (3 base. Killed dragon. Built Scrying Pool).

 

This is more of a question: I've been experimenting with Betrayers a bit. Has anyone gotten crossover Mages to level up Life/Death magic out-of-faction? I mean I'm playing as Kingdom but gotten a Mage Champ with Death magic but it never is an option to level up afterward. I mean, I was expecting most of the spells to be weaker due to the fact that I wouldn't have Death nodes built but I was still hoping to get up to Blood Sigil/Mass Curse...I realize it may be by design this way but was just wondering if anyone has gotten any Spell levels out of opposing alignment mages.

 

A question on Map-Making: On placing specific champs they always begin at Level 1 (though oddly still require the corresponding technology to actually recruit) for me. Am I doing something wrong?

 

EDIT: Oh yeah: Living Shadow champs from Heavenfall's Stormworld Mod riding Wargs: The Warg is all shadowy and incorporeal too...frickin awesome!

You need to specify the champion's level using the bottom arrow buttons on the control panel that pops up.  Spawn rating only controls what bracket they're in for the purposes of research and unlocking them.

Are you sure it was from killing the dragon? You can get a 5 essence city without that: 3 base, 1 from scrying pool, 1 from conclave level-up bonus.

maybe the dragon lair thing gives an essence?

It's kind of hard to reproduce since most Dragons seem to be off out in the wastes but I'm fairly sure I've had it happen twice...the 5 Essence thing was on a Fortress (I always try to have a 3 base Essence one to stack the production Enchantments on it as an 'Elite' kind of unit builder) so it couldn't have the Conclave upgrade...

 

I'm not sure if it is the Dragon itself or the Lair it was camped on...All I remember was Dragon->No Dragon->+1 Essence->Profit...

 

EDIT: Just tried it on my current save...Wingless Dragon. Killed it. Essence went up by 2 actually...This save is fairly new so I had to Ctrl-K it...maybe that's what does it but I'm fairly sure the others I killed myself.
