open up the .map file (it's just text) and check by the province number - there'll be a number which tells the game what the terrain actually is. look it up in a modding guide, or post it here - I don't remember them all off the top of my head. But the early versions of cradle were notorious for having some errors, and those early versions (not the picture, or .tga, but the little .map files that tell the game what is in the provinces) still seem to be floating around.

Even if the map files terrains don't match the picture, they should match what is displayed for province terrain. Not the map picture, but the icons in the province section.

Is there a more accurate version than the one which comes with the game? Because I'm starting a new MP game with it soon.

Re: Bug Thread: Discussion

Not sure if this is a bug or just a gameplay quirk, but I have a mercenary assassin who has managed to get pretty deep into enemy territory. It's now time to rehire him, and....... I can only hire him in friendly territory!!! So is there no way to have an assassin on your team, for example, for twenty turns, after which he can put a cap in the proverbial *** of your foe?

Re: Bug Thread: Discussion

I haven't tested this, but it shouldn't matter where you hire him. Once you're rehiring him, he'll just stay where he is, no matter where you pay the bill.

So if you're given the option to bid on him in one of your home provinces, go right ahead.

Re: Bug Thread: Discussion

in general, I do my rehires always at my home castle. It makes no difference (the unit doesnt move) and Ive lost too many mercs because I lost the province where I was trying to process the rehire.

The only problem if I remember right, is units that must be hired in water also (illogically) require that you rehire them in water. :(

Re: Bug Thread: Discussion

Ah, so the hiring in a specific province only matters on the first turn... makes sense.
