[quote who="Frogboy" reply="50" id="3372075"] + Difficulty sovereign HP modifier now affects champions [/quote] Cool, this will help make enemy champions more threatening. Concentrating fire on them will be less effective a strategy.
Are you certain you are actually at war? No tribute involved? Did you ever make an alliance? Talk to Magnar. Does the option "declare war" still exist? If so, you are not at war. If you really are at war and cannot capture his holdings post your save. Never seen or heard of this before.
Casting it in your own territory (outposts preferably, it's a waste if too close to existing city) makes tile yields the most likely to appear, in my experience. Whenever I have cast on plains or forest tiles, my territory or not, I have seen at least 3 city spots appear. No tile yields can appear within 6 tiles of an existing city.
You must construct additional pylons.
[quote who="BernieTime" reply="45" id="3371530"] I'm at the point I just wish Caravans were completely removed from the game. Now that the AI is actually casting freeze, they're targeting caravans as they're perceived as enemy units. Which is also irritating having to cycle through a dozen enemy caravans to actually find the real enemy units broaching my borders.[/quote] I like caravans despite annoyances. Hate to lose them altogether.

[quote who="dangerlinto" reply="6" id="3371239"] ...save the game before you do it and you can figure it out pretty quickly. [/quote] This. Play around with it a few times. Once you "get" where it is likely to create tile yields, the spell can win you the game. I've created 3 essence tiles with it by casting with both a crystal crag and a shard in the area of effect. Great spell, especially now that it is a tier 2 and cheaper to cast.
[quote who="GFireflyE" reply="2" id="3371125"] Is the city cornered is specific terrain? Often, if the city cannot expand, then the options for building are removed from the list. [/quote] Like he said, probably a terrain issue. If you scroll all the way to the bottom of the build menu, you'll see all the improvements, but they are greyed out and say "No space to build" or something. Hit the raze button on that stinker.
Despair? Very powerful, but not OP. That's because only intended high-threat enemies have it, and the player can only get it via a rare scroll. Counters to despair: -Death Ward -Counterspell -Anything that causes prone (interrupts a spell)
Well, monsters from the wildlands are actually from a faction - wildlands - so if they can from WL, it makes sense why it didn't auto raze. If Dark Wizards take cities, though, then something must have changed. Can't think of a WL that has Dark Wizards.
Are the endings (Quest, magic, Conquest, Diplomacy, etc.) defined in any .xml? Specifically, can the text displayed on-screen after the victory movie be altered?
[quote who="parrottmath" reply="3" id="3369776"] You need a city for turn based random events to occur, but you can have resource based events occur at start or near start of game.[/quote] You'd think I'd remember that.
If you wanted to tweak the balance, you could have a turn 1 random event that spawns more crystal, right?

Trying to create a goodie hut that spawns a monster every other turn. Set " " to 100, and " " to 1. After 5 turns during a test, nothing spawns. Example: This is from the bottom of "Lair_ButchermanHecatomb_Final" in CoreGoodieHuts.xml -1 1 5 7</RespawnDelay>
More examples of this auto resolve issue here: https://forums.elementalgame.com/445327/page/1/#3368109
It's the auto resolve. Special abilities like impale, cleave, gust of wind, ignys fire breath, and now (I know this thanks to you) crushing blow, are bugged in auto resolve. The main problem is that area of effect becomes glitched for these abilities. Crushing blow gets range. For most of the others, they hit ALL enemies, not just those in area of effect. Also, impale seems (cleave too, I think) to do a lot more damage than it should. Gust of wind does damage -
[quote who="mdonais" reply="20" id="3369266"] I tried this same built on insane, it is a great build and easily beats insane if played at all right. I swapped water magic for air magic, as I see little use for water. I also took clumsy instead of weak. I played on a medium map because it makes the game faster.

[quote who="PhoenixPhyre" reply="27" id="3369169"] Data mining forums for common complaints and analyzing why those complaints exists allow companies to update products to be more enjoyable to a wider audience as well as design better games in the future. If a person picked up a game, played it for a limited time, and found it so boring that they were emotionally driven to go to the company's website and complain about it then obviously their opinion is worth while to list
Reading this, I got the feeling something isn't right. So I looked at the details... Doesn't a huge map benefit the Monolith + Consume strategy? Why only 3 opponents on a huge map? Can you do this exact same challenge on a SMALL map? I notice there is no save posted.

[quote quoting="post"] I've logged about 80 hours now or so on "legendary heroes" and I find it too easy.. yah, know get yourself a cave/maul bear into your army with a collar/spell and you are semi-unstoppable.. In all my hours of playing.. I have yet to even build one army in my cities or need one..? in fact cities seem a waste! (purposeless), be attacked by the AI (one time)? and when I take my armies against the AI I just crush e'm anyway..
Grocers, bakeries, and butchers are how you grow EVERY city, not just the town that build them. Sweet building.
There's that bear again.
