I'm curious as to why you wouldn't send out a champion along with whatever troops you're fielding? They don't have to do anything except sit there while the troops do the heavy lifting, and eventually they can accrue some nice benefits. Unless you're always able to fully populate your army stacks even in the early game? Or is it that you only have a single stack and thus the sovereign gets that duty? As far as splitting XP, yes, they still split X

[quote who="webusver" reply="112" id="3420128"] Is it possible to reduce units speed on roads? Units move by 2 tiles per turn on grass, but when they enter roads it seems that they enter railroad train or fantastic escalator of some kind and move at incredible 4x speed.

If you've only got one box of random parts and one obsolete computer system, she has no room to complain. :P What's that honey? Oh, yes, you're right; I really should be cleaning out the basement instead of puttering around on the internet...sigh.

[quote who="Borg999" reply="12" id="3419412"] Regarless, the issue is you can get multiple duplicates which shoulsn't happen. I would like to see code built into the randomizer that says once an item has been been dropped, it is excluded from the remaining list of available drops for the remainder of the game. [/quote] You don't want a randomizer then, you want want a shuffle algorithm, which is entirely different. I strongly disa

It could just be observers' bias; it's doubtful that you've got a record of loot drops from *every* game that you've played, just the ones that seemed unusual. That said, in the current game I'm playing I just got 5 weathered shields (3 in a row, even) from the early goodie huts...but I don't really recall any particularly unexpected strings of duplicate items from earlier games.

You could just call it "cleric" and have all the level abilities be different depending on Kingdom/Empire (I believe that's Parrotmath's point.) As for the path choice, have a look at the Demons and Wizards mod that abob101 has; I believe it splits out Mage vs. Summoner paths (which means there must be a new top level choice, though I haven't played it...)

Warlords train their units in effective looting techniques. Undead warlords extend that to grave looting. The undead soldiers under their command spend all their free time digging up all the trinkets and mementos buried along with the departed. After all, they're not busy spending their time in inns and brothels. [e digicons]:P[/e]

[quote who="Primal_Savage" reply="8" id="3417033"] Making it a 1-tile AoE would actually destroy more tiles. It should be noted that I pre-cast because I didn't want to wait for the Elemental Lords to wander outside of their Wildland on their own, so I baited them. But you don't need to pre-cast, you just need to cast on an tile adjacent to an Elemental Lord, then move on that tile and attack the Elemental Lord. As I said, it's basically one t

Did you try Making the AoE just 1 tile Casting on your hero right before they attack the wandering Elemental (rather than pre-casting it into the area you expect it to wander)? (or do the Elemental lords end up attacking you instead?) That might mitigate concerns with tile destruction.
