Purest Warrior

I believe your race has to be a Kingdom race. Not your sovereign's race, but your people's race.

Actually I was on a land mass with two other factions, but once they were dealt with I was out of things to do... On a side note, I tried to get expelled from Tarth lands onto a land mass I could see two tiles away, but every time I ended up in my own territory 8-10 tiles away. As it is, I'm playing the 0.98 now, so I don't know if this issue is even relevant any more (0.952).

How do I attach a file to a post?

Ok, so it's just ranged weapons and cloaks that get lost in the mail now?

I managed to start on an island. I'm sure that wasn't intended.

Ranged weapons and cloaks and some say mounts, too, but I have always been able to buy mounts for henchmen.

A man of few words.

[quote who="parrottmath" reply="13" id="3231287"]This is how the game mechanic works. The grain, material and essence is the potential of the land.[/quote] I can accept that, but the initial yield display of, say 4/2/0 near a wheat resource, is nowhere near the end outcome, if that wheat is fully upgraded. But the wheat is somehow included in the 4/2/0... Does that make sense? [quote who="parrottmath" reply="13" id="3231287"] The tile radius I see for this is

[quote who="Glowing_Ember" reply="11" id="3231273"] i mean that if i already have a city tile that has a higher food value because "wheat" or "fruit grove" is next to it, then i get even more food for harvesting that resource. How does that work then, i'm getting the bonus for the wheat and grove twice.[/quote] I'm confused about this, as well. And considering what Bananfishbones said, why can't I build cities just anywhere? Even if that means bui

Thank you all for your replies, although I suspect I haven't been too clear in what I am actually asking; I am not as much interested in what the bonuses do, as much as what they are. Also, I seem to have confused grain with food and materials with production. I would like to determine, by looking at the cloth map under the fog of war, whether a specific place would be good for settling. Parottmath said there was some randomness involv

Thank you for replying, although more questions arise from your answer. [quote who="bananafishbones" reply="1" id="3229704"]i don't think essence has anything to do with the proximity of shards.[/quote] What does essence have anything to do with then? [quote who="bananafishbones" reply="1" id="3229704"]besides apiaries, wheat fields, etc; which you develop to yield more grain; i think in general plains will yield 3-5 grain and have 2-3 production;

I'm a guy who likes to plan ahead, but I seem to fail to understand the rules regarding whether cities can be placed on specific tiles and, if so, what bonuses a city may get in that tile. I have come to understand that a city will have an essence if placed near an elemental shard, but food and production outcome eludes me. Most times I have to send an explorer to actually scout the area before sending a pioneer, and in most cases I have so send an army, too, to clear the

Was there another hero stationed in the same square, who may have gotten the imbue spell?

Well, you do actually get the city overview in the lower left side of the screen, once that level-up window pops. But I agree, it would be nice to be able to examine your city more closely at level-up.

Ok. Could be the AI can. I haven't met a lot of archers, but my archers can't shoot more than about three fourths of the field.

They can't, in my experience. They actually do have a range. Don't know if it's different for longbows and shortbows, though.

[quote who="Purest Warrior" reply="9" id="2749383"]I'm still getting CTDs. Thanks for sharing, though.[/quote] They're still "Out Of Memory" CTDs. Can't really tell if they're as frequent, as they were kinda random to begin with. I'm going to leave it unchecked, though, as there are no localized data.

Which, on a side note, will allow you to inbreed your faction in the most horrible fashion, as you can match your sons with their defected sisters...

I agree on the part about being able to marry NPCs. You will not be left without champions, however, as the grandchildren will sometimes ally themselves with their mothers original faction, ie. leaving the faction they were born into and joining the mother's parent's faction. Did that make sense?

Nope. It's annoying.

I'm still getting CTDs. Thanks for sharing, though.

Testing... and thanks for bumping after 14 secs :)

Thank you for the swift replies. I'll go to Russia and get it...

Alas! Pity, though, when it seems you've made a feast of a game. PW
