I've noticed the capture of 0 combat rating sovereigns, I think they're the children of the people you just dispatched. I've never tried to move them though, or equip them. Usually by the time I'm slaughtering my way through the world I've won by conquest.

I don't know, I kind of like the idea that you can buy an army on the promise of conquest. You go out, adventure, discover some of the treasure you need to fund your expedition. Of course, the only time I've had the game immediately slap me into negatives was when I started next to a stack of four adventurers. I ask them to join, and instead of charging me the price they list, they charge me like four times that price which is like 800 gildar. So, that check isn't just somewhere where you sho

I had been wondering where all the metal had gone. However when I started next to some ore, and thought "score!" I was kinda disappointed to see it considered as wildflowers on the cloth map.

I've played a number of games after the update and had no issues with rock spider drones. However I just started a new game, played for a bit, went to squish a Rock Spider drone with a combat rating of 7 with my Sovereign and acquired adventurer with a combined combat rating in the 20s. My units were recorded as doing over 30 damage to the rock spider drone (more than it should have had HPs IIRC), but it killed us anyway. At any rate I don't think it's a problem afflict

I do wish that there was some sort of percentage bonus when you picked up a merchant later in the game. You have little reason to pay a merchant 800 gold to join you, when the game will likely end before he could pay for himself. Some sort of skill tree system could work to add value to all of these NPCs. Imagine sending your merchant out at the head of a group of peasants in order to squash a spider. Perhaps rather than just combat bonuses, the various types of NPC (Champion, Adventurer, Mer

It is especially troublesome if you try to change any aspect of your group while escorting a noble to their estate, as if you two split up you fail the quest.

It seems like the quest is currently something of a placeholder, awaiting the tech and addition of horses to units.

At the end of the witches sisters quest, they give you the compass that they talked about at first, but the last thing it says it that she gives you the telescope you asked about.

Now that you mention it, that would explain why my weapon speed arbitrarily dropped .3... I also could see no improvement from books and the like, but I assumed it was because they now add .2 instead of a point and I never got five of a kind.

One of my favorite RPG bits of shiny has always been bracers of speed, maybe one day we'll see some wrist protection that provide benefits besides just armor from some bracers. I would like to see bracers equippable at the same time as shields, even if the armor benefit was reduced by half, and that reduction makes more sense logically than not being able to fit my arm through my shield with bracers on.

I picked the Sovereign with Organized trait, and yet even though he had 12 movement I couldn't make anyone move at the speed of my Sovereign. That should let you escort faster, though. Currently for slightly faster escort quests, you can research the military bits that aid movement rate, advanced tracker and the like. Even the little noblemen and women will get an extra .1 movement rate.

[quote who="Ron Lugge" reply="6" id="2651107"] The Tetris minigame isn't that interesting. It's not a tetris 'minigame', it's a rather sensible restriction. Your city has to be one contiguous block.[/quote]I sold some buildings in the middle of my city, while it was a rather long thin city, and half of my buildings stopped being encircled in the town fence, and when I built back the School in place of the Studies, it stayed sundered.

The highest I've gotten myself was 160 with my Sovereign alone, but I hadn't completed nearly as many quests as I could have, and every time the AI saw me they waited a few turns and declared war on me, so I went any captured their cities. The Strength books don't give you any Strength stat, they simply add to your damage rating.
