As to the method of raising prestige in a city, you can choose the "Royalty" attribute on your sovreign and get 2 prestige per city as default. Later, pubs and inns grant additional prestige, as does the palace (but you only get one of those) and some NPCs heroes grant a prestige bonus to the city. And for me, I got the bonus from the hero, but it did not show up until a turn or two later.
The way things are going, I would not be surprised if book 3 ended up being free as well.
One thing I noticed about captured cities, is that sometimes the AI builds a LOT of houses, again, probably not requiring food as a bug, and then when you take over, you go way into the negative on food. Some times the AI cities had 3-4 times more houses than needed, I don't know if the build routine tries to use all open building lots by default, or what. I work around this by going in a demolishing most of the extra houses, with the demolish feature, and will occasionally raze the w
Which is a problem, because they get a boost when going into a city a lot of the time, so they are often "damaged" right when you want to save. And they they get reduced to 1 on the reload.
Units in the stack get the full HP increase, but ONLY if they are not damaged. If they are down even 1 point, the cap will rise upon advancement, but you will not get the health, without/until healing up to the cap. The computer then figures out how many guys with full health that is, and yes, reduces the number of guys in the squad. As to being in town, it is part of the defense bonus, which also scales on level, so a high level stack gets a big boost to health cap, I have seen +100%
For myself, I am going to step away from the game for a bit. The crashes and memory leaks and stacks being reduced to a single unit just take the fun out of everything. I think I am going to stop pissing myself off by trying to play right now. Hopefully there are a couple heavy duty patches coming.
I had the same thing and it took me a bit to figure it out. When you click on the dragon resource, after it is built, it should say what city it is linked to. When you select the create unit tab in that city, "Young Dragons" are an option. If you can build on it, it will link to a city. I just pulled a save game up and I was more than 5 spaces away and it worked fine. Then, b uild like any other unit. Keep in mind the upkeep on those things is very
This is something of a known issue. When the spawn points for creatures are heavily restricted on the map because of kingdom boundries and topography, sometimes one creature will get "stuck" right on the spawn point, and all subsequent creatures spawn on top, resulting in combat, and one of the creatures leveling up. And when stuck on a spawn point, it happens over and over every turn. Since health goes up on a curve, it gets fairly high. The personal best I have seen

I don't know about everyone else, but after playing through a few games, every once in a while I would come across a spawned creature with totally crazy off the wall stats. One time it was a Pack Drake with 34.8 million health, another was some flavor of ogre with 500k+, you get the picture.... Well, figured out how it was happening... Creatures spawn outside kingdom territorial limits and where game topography allow. Well, sometimes they get stuck. I saw one of the little dem
For straight up gameplay bugs, this one is a killer. Get rolling against another player, save, and come back and be totally screwed. I hope they can get a handle on this one, and I too have had it happen both in and out of town, stacks reduced to 1.

I just bought the game a couple days back and am fully patched up and playing on a modern system. Overall, I am very happy with the game play, but I am still getting a bunch of crashes to desktop and the like, and these are not wholly unexpected with a just released game. On windows 7, I do seem to get a game crash each time I tab out to windows, so I don't do that... I also frequently lose the combat sounds during a battle, and they stay "lost". Happens at different intervals
I am having a different, worse problem. I can not even install the game. I am running XP-64 SP2 on a brand new rig. I bought the game retail. Now, it seems to have broken my windows installer, after not installing the game. I get an Error 1719. Says that it can't access the windows installation service because I am running Windows in safe mode (which I am not)or that Windows Installer was not installed correctly, which it was, until I tried to install Sins of a Solar Empire. Help? <a h
