[quote who="Dhraconus" reply="14" id="2769678"] If your sovereign has 20 essence with a 500% bonus from 10 Temples (not hard on a large map) he has 120 essence to work with for most things. When you cast Imbue champion it takes 3 essence from the base 20, not from the boosted 120. So one cast would leave you with a base of 17 and a boosted total of 102. The champion would have 3 base essence and a boosted total of 18. Although one game I played I had somewhere arou

I've seen AI factions go so far into the red they would have to sell their entire empire off. Fifty turns into an arms race, faction X now has -6783 gildar, for example. If they can't manage their economy, they should have to deal with revolution in the ranks... soldiers razing cities and wandering the wilderness as bandits, armies turning on their sovreign, that kind of thing.

Then you said nothing about the game is broken. Why am I even replying to this...

This is the cloth map one turn before the next picture. I have been attacked by the orange faction to the left side there, and had to walk around Iyana to the road through the pass. I cleared everything along the way for cash and as you can see it respawned a bunch of stuff behind me. Twice while walking through the woods it spawned stuff on the same square I was in. <

So this is the problem. This is turn 273, the AI blocked me off from the main continent, you can see the borders of two different AI factions here. it took me the first 175 turns to hold off the monsters long enough for my immediate neighbor to become overwhelmed and die of monster attacks because every AI in the game is teching the adventure t
