First off I want to say that this game is truly amazing, the depth of races/spells/sites/pretenders/magic items/units really does boggle my mind. Ok now that I have that out of the way on to the meat of my post.

These are the questions I have come up with to help make me a little better player.

1. Does anyone else suffer from the wierd graphical glitch when they host a MP game? My empire banners on the main map turn to letters or wierd litte graphics that look like screenshots of the sky and clouds.

2. How do you determine the upkeep of a unit? Use the Pan Commander of Pangea as the example. I know making one a prophet reduces his upkeep, but just how much is that upkeep for one?

3. Do I get gold income from a province not touching one of my provinces with a Admin value? Or do they have to be touching a province with a fortress/wizard tower.....etc.

4.It seems to me that the panic spell is precision based because it hits in random areas, can that spell affect my own troops?


5. Is the enemy AI supposed to be able to send his god/pretender to the arena deathmatches?


6. How do I make my armies meet invaders in the field when in a castle province? Set them to Patrol province?


Cant think of any more yet but im SURE I will have more.

Thanks

Still relatively new, but I think I can help:

2. Upkeep is cost of unit / 15 (or 30 if sacred)
3. Yes, you get the income listed
5. Yes, it can. You can too.
6. Yes, exactly.

I may be wrong, but I hope not.
Best to you
