Re: Lost in Time and Space?
 

One of the nasty things about non-R'lyeh units becoming lost in time and space is that when the return, they land in a random province. Any random province, including water. So if your god is wandering around up there, when he comes back he might splash down in the middle of the ocean, and if he can't breathe underwater, well ... at least you can call him back now.

Also in addition to the insanity, you've got a chance of +1S. Does anyone know if you can get this if you have no astral? It would kind of make you a little vulnerable to Magic Duels.

20 insanity is not so bad, you still get to tell him what to do 80% of the time.

I thought that was from a Dreams of R'lyeh battle.

Re: Lost in Time and Space?
 

I've always just had my units pop out of the void or hell, and never seen any battles there. I think all my units eventually came back, they never just died there.

You know, when you say you -think- one thing, and then state -never- the obvious, it comes off a bit misleading. ;)

I'm pretty certain that in all of the games that I played, I've won/quit some with commanders still "Lost in Time and Space". I'm not sure that there is any way to know if they're dead, other than a pretender or a prophet. I've noticed that less powerful beings (ie- weaker than a Tart or a pretender) often come back with afflictions, which could imply combat of some kind.

Re: Lost in Time and Space?
 

Okay, how's this?

My units have never died when lost in time and space (I think).

:)

But I'm less certain now, since you say yours came back with new afflictions.

Oh, wait: My units nearly always are scripted for returning (the lost in time and space ones). And as I remember, they either land in an enemy province with 2 pearls left and cast returning, or land in a province of mine and don't use the pearls.

Now ... was this before or after I started giving my void gate guys 4 pearls instead of 2? I've got no idea.

But if they were in combat while lost, they should show up in my capitol with no pearls, instead of in an enemy province. Unless Returning doesn't work in the lost in time and space combats.

Re: Lost in Time and Space?
 

Now THAT is a very good point. I am completely confused now, because even Johan seems to think battles occur in these places. It's a grand mystery.

Re: Lost in Time and Space?
 

Hey, I just had an idea... Could I somehow wish for less insanity? Just curious :) Or perhaps just say "sanity" when typing in the wish?

Oh, and what happens if you put in something for a wish and the game doesn't have an answer for it? You don't blow up, do you? :)

Re: Lost in Time and Space?
 

sometimes... ;)

usually just nothing happens. other than having wasted 100 pearls :)

Re: Lost in Time and Space?
 

Nope, it won't finalize the command, it says - "You cannot Wish for that.". Then you get to try to issue orders again.

Re: Lost in Time and Space?
 

oh yeah... been a long time since i've wished for something you can't wish for :)
