No quests to be found?

from Elemental Forums

I'm in my second game. In my first, I found a number of quests to raise my fame early in the game. In the current one, in spite of expanding faster I didn't find more than one until turn 75, except for two Deadly/Epic ones I'm not up to at this point, and a fake "weak" one that didn't offer any fame. I wonder if this is just bad luck, or if it has something to do with having started fairly close to two other factions and their sovereigns wandering around and getting to all of them before I expanded out of my "forest glade"...

While I'm at it: what are the "Recruit X" achievements for? I got quite a few champions in my first game but none of them ever triggered an achievement.

These are special champions, which you obtain through various means: Some are just lucky (they are in the champion pool that it uses at fame levels), some are from certain quests. I have 3 of them so far, 2 from luck and 1 from a quest.

There's a thread around here somewhere that lists how to get them, but I think it's more fun to find them as you play. So just keep playing and you should encounter them sooner or later.

Are there hard coded restrictions on when certain quests will never appear after a certain stage in the game has passed?

 

Also, do all random events appear on pre-made maps?

No and no. If you skipped quests close to your starting point, they will still be easy/medium when you do them later in the game. Quest maps closer to home also provide easier quests than when you start them far from your starting location.

Random events are just that: random. They do not always take place.

 

If you love to do quests, select the 'Wanderlust' trait. If you don't mind exploiting the mechanics, it saves a faction trait point if you select Altar as one of your opponents and buy quests from them.
