Re: Dystopia - new poor game (Running)
 

I am really enjoying the settings in this game. I normally don't use luck in standard setting games. I find I look forward to reading all of those random events instead of my usual dread!

Re: Dystopia - new poor game (Running)
 

Glad you are enjoying it. Personally I play with luck a lot and love it. It's fun.

Folks,

Zeldor has discovered that the pythium capital is allowing recruitment of hydra hatchlings. Although this appears to be a small bug, I'm tempted to allow it. He can't recruit the big hydras and hatchlings are as much trouble as they are worth. Also, you can get them from a regular site.

Feel free to discuss. For now, he's not recruiting them.

Cheers,
Maer

Re: Dystopia - new poor game (Running)
 

Is there an independent province that allows for recruitment of hydra hatchlings? The pythium capital may have been sitting on this province by chance.

Re: Dystopia - new poor game (Running)
 

I'm with Dr D on this one. Probably an indy site that was unlocked after the capital was conquered. Zeldor should be allowed to recruit them.

Re: Dystopia - new poor game (Running)
 

I think I remember playing C'tis in SP once where I was able to recruit centaur chariots in my cap. It may be rare, but the site should be listed so Zeldor can see it when he looks at the province.

If it's a site, he can recruit as many as he wants. If not, then it's probably a bug, and should not be exploited. Just my opinion, of course. ;)


although hydra hatchlings aren't much of an exploit anyway

Re: Dystopia - new poor game (Running)
 

No, this is a bug with Pyth's cap. But I thought it was fixed many many patches ago.

Re: Dystopia - new poor game (Running)
 

Yup, I've encountered it many times. You also get elephants in MA arcos cap sometimes, or always, don't know. Could be more examples.

Could be WAD. It makes sense thematically. Both elephants and hydra hatchlings are more tied to the environment than culture.

I say allow it, they're not that good anyway.

I will need extension after this turn hosts. I'm out for weekend, I will be back on Tuesday.

Re: Dystopia - new poor game (Running)
 

Granted as requested. After this turn I'll extend.
