Wasted 75 earth gems on \"Hidden in the Sand!\" BUG?
 

So, I'm playing EA C'tis and I cast Hidden in the Sand. What appears? A single weak commander, that's it. There's no "servants" at all.

Wat the heck?

did you cast it in a wasteland?

(I was afraid you did this in PPP but there you can't have 75 gems already http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif)

To get an army, you need to cast it in wasteland. To have a better chance of getting mages, you need magic scales, I think. Turmoil and luck scales help too, supposedly.

omg!........ for 75 gems it still should have done something more than a single commander.

Oh well.

Good to know! Sheesh.

Yep, I've cast hidden in the snow 3 times, hidden in the sand once, all in MP games for a grand total of 1 mage. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Pre-patch I got one D1 mage out of two Hidden in Snow casts, and something like 20 units total.

Post-patch I got one W2E2D2 mage, and 27 soldiers (plus the lord), from one cast. Order-3, Luck-3, Magic-1 scales. It's not bad if you've found an enchantment discount site.

Hidden in Sand's description doesn't mention the wasteland requirement ATM, but it was thought more important to release fix for the then-newest iteration of scale bug. The description of it and Hidden in Snow will most probably be corrected for the next patch. The scale boosts will should also be added there.

Hidden in Sand is, from all accounts, quite nice, if it is cast in a wasteland province as it is supposed to be. I understand if you did not know that though Argitoth... unless you read the boards religiously you would not have found that out.

Ok, so it's "Hidden In Sand" .. how many thousands-years old sand dunes are there around C'tis capitol swamp city?? Come one guys, start using your brain again ... it's pretty obvious that those spells are not meant to be cast everywhere with the same results ...
