Wild Boar Event/Spell
 

After applying the patch I've had Pangea cast this new spell Wild Boar which causes the event that a wild boar is causing unrest and needs to be hunted by a patrolling army to be stopped and killed.

The spell has struck 3 provinces now and I've yet to capture and kill the wild boar with my patrolling armies. I imagine there would be a battle finding and killing the boar as well. One of these provinces has 64 province defence(from events and on the front line) and an army of over 100 troops patrolling yet still no kill of the boar after 3 turns.

This spell might be bugged causing a constant never-ending rise in unrest. Has anyone seen similar or different results?

I've killed the monster boar in a test game. It's not hard - just bad luck imo.

A surefire way of getting that damn pig:

1) Cast Wild Sow
2) Lie in wait with small army
3) ...
4) Bacon!

Works every time http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif If you're in a hurry, tie the summoned Wild Sow to a cask of beer and stand back http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Well I've finally been able to capture the pig at all the targeted provinces, but I needed the help of flying units.
Only one province remains where the pig has not been captured and this province has 64 province defence and over 100 troops patrolling. I'll see if flying units work for capturing the pig here as well.

Crafty swine...

Re: Wild Boar Event/Spell
 

Indeed. Who would have thought magical swine required major military maneuvers for its removal?

I also got a random event in which a demon possesses a pig and ravages your province. Made me think of that monster from Doom II, but I didn't have a chainsaw handy. I think a certain developer has a penchant for piggies. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

There's a similar event for brigands, you get a brigand leader and his troops causing unrest.

64pd? What the hell? I think it's safe to say PD doesn't work against those piggies.

Killed it as well, with the help of fast undead lizard chariots.

It's quite the silly sight to see a Monster Boar face a LA C'tisian army, and have its morale immediately drop to -20 or so when some Scorpion Men look at it.

Had him next to my capitol, a mere 100 vans + prophet caught him in 1 turn. Wasn't enougth bacon for everyone.

As I wrote within the first post, the 64 PD is from the front line and boosted from events. My enemy Tien Chi recently attacked my front line with 575 troops.
