Uh.......

I was playing the computer middle era and I took a home castle and found I could buy the poison Hydra, a national troop. I have never been able to buy a national troop before. Was that a fluke?

I wondered if it was because the castle was uncontested. I sent in a indie captain to test the defense and no one was there. When the turn resolved I had the castle with no fight and could buy Hydra's.

From the "Bug or WAD" thread.

Nope it is WAD. Hydra hatchling is recruitable in other sites as well, but hydra is only recruitable by Pythium and Sauromatia.

So if it's a hydra hatchling then it's not a bug.

WAD?

Works As Designed.

Hydra Hatchlings have been available to conquerors of Pythium since earlier editions of Dominions.
