Neither have I, and I've played full Ashen and SG games several times in SP.

Of course, given how it appears in some other nation's province, you'd expect their scales to dictate it...

I almost never see it happen more than once in a game, and usually I don't see it happen until like turn 60+, so if you play short games you might well never see it. I have no clue if scales have any effect on it, since it doesn't display as an event in the turn Messages.

I play hideously long games, so if that's the cause, I should be seeing it. It must be extremely rare, or triggered by a combination of scales and dominionary influence in ways that generally don't occur.

Hmm, I think it's tied to the death and misfortune scales, as I have had it occur around turn ten with Black Forest Ulm.

So the VICTIM has to be Death and Misfortune, and Ermor has to exist in the game.

That would explain why I rarely see it: I don't play Ermor much in SP, it's not terribly challenging, and few people in MP will pick both Death and Misfortune.

I saw it 3-4 times before turn 50 in my current ...Ermor game, where I have Luck3 (thanks to Ermor insane scales ! So it happened to *my* advantage
But each time those crappy cultists get wiped out and never captured a province ...

Well, go figure. I think this is a perfect example of getting what you pay for.

I've seen the Cultists show up several times in my only ermor SP game (fun at first, but then it became micro management hell and far too easy).

Howevr, they showed up in my own provinces though - or am I confusing something here?

And talking about Ermor: what is a good way to push my Dominion out beyond my own realm? Building temples doesn't seem to help much since the AI tend to build one on every province...
