If you have multiple heroes in a town, and more than one have the Administrator trait, then they stack. Considering you get massive bonuses to training and building times (-20/-30%), this can get out of hand if you have more than one. I do think the bonuses from the Administrator hero are now good enough to make them worth using, but are not unbalancing, especially since it takes considerable time to grow one properly. Suggestion: Limit it to one administrator

When you train a neutral monster it costs food to create the unit. When they die do you get it back or is it gone forever? - Manii Names
I think it works OK. You escape, and then flee for your lives -) Where it fails is you escape and then get instantly attacked again, that's not so good.
When creating a new sovereign you have to choose a faction. Next to the scrolling arrows there is a button titled 'New'. Press that to make a new faction. I will note that i found it by accident myself, it just hadn't occurred to me to press the button until then. - Manii Names
If I aggressively recruit I have had games with 10 or more champions, and not enough troops to make each of those champs a viable roamer. So they end up running errands (equipment) or lurking in town gaining 1 exp / turn. I have also had games with just my Sov and one extra champ for an extremely long time. It varies. - Manii Names
Time consuming. Maybe best if you can choose from 3-6 presets, or at least set up in advance somehow so you are not having to choose it each time combat starts. - Manii Names
Thirded this idea.
PLease put the quests back in! I really miss the storytelling that comes with the quests, and right now they are all absent barring a few Deadly ones.
The only time I want Dex is if I have Finesse.
When creating a faction after you choose your first strength the tooltips will no longer update for other choices until you change pages and come back again. - Manii Names (#35)
Finally defeated Magnar, unfortunately I don't have an updated pic for Narthyssa.
I have been fighting a long war against Magnar, and one of his heroes is Narthyssa (spelling). I've killed her three times now, and every time I do so she drops a crude shortbow as loot. I have to believe that it is unintentional that this happens each time? It's only worth three (3) guildar so it is not exactly game breaking. Plus it's, well, a CRUDE SHORTBOW. [Edit] Just killed her again, Crude Shortbow #4. And I did spell her name right, I
So it is, thank you both for getting that. I was focused on the percentages and didn't make note of the incorrect text. - Manii Names
In my new game I still didn't get Bless or Curse City. Are they working for other people?
I agree. It's an assassin demon trying to corrupt you. Break the blade =)
Maybe critted?
I usually have a bunch of spare low level champs, and use one of them to courier the item. With a horse you're pretty fast.
I found a couple of staves in the last game I played. Exact stats forgotten, but they were +1 mana regen and +25% spell dmg. One came from a deadly quest the other I pried from the cold dead hands of an enemy hero. - Manii Names
Given the initiative penalties which have been added to heavy armour, plus the extreme weight, how are people outfitting their plate-wearing armies? - Manii Names
I also didn't get Bless City or Curse City? Hmm. Bah the game is screwy, my town is missing it's L4 option as well (Prison). http://dl.dropbox.com/u/59771612/Sea%20Serpents.EleSav - Manii Names
[Edit] Decided my game is most likely busted, since noticed some other issues as well. Savegame attached. I researched Arcane Mastery, which is supposed to unlock the Temple of Essence, but doesn't? Hiergamenon and tooltips and text all talk about it, but the Temple does not show up as a buildable item in any of my cities? I KNOW it was here in 0.77, as I used to build them. Removed in 0.86? - Manii Names (#33)
Questions: 1. How do I figure out who cast curse City on my city? 2. Can I get rid of it somehow, short of completely annihilating the offending empire? - Manii Names
There are several posts on this topic. I agree that it's very annoying.
Which is it? - Manii Names (#34)
OK I have been wondering a bit about how the exp is working, and this is the first time I have had a hero with the Trainer EXP Bonus trait, so I decided to run some quick numbers. Under normal conditions things look pretty basic, however when a hero gains a level they look wonky. Off to run more numbers. Findings: Trainer I (+10%) and Trainer II (+15%) are additive. Non-Hero units receive 1/2 as much exp as Hero units. I knew t
