Scripting Virtue

[Borg]

Well, in the meantime I tried it out.
Result : dead Virtue.

It didn't happen in the right circumstances though I did learn quite a bit from the experience.

My Tower was under Siege by Vanheim, had only a few scratches and I thought I could afford to wait another turn to break the Siege as I would then be able to cast Legions of Steel.

We both had an army of about 60 units but I had Virtue and a Black Sorcerer.
My spies told me there was no back-up for these troops , so I recruited 2 more spiders (income and resources down that much) and figured I could break out next turn.
My other army, in the meantime took a juicy 70+ gold province, 2 blocks away from the besieged area.
Next turn, all of a sudden there are 100 !!!!!! Vanheimers besieging my castle. WTF !!!

I see only 2 possibilities.
-Either there was a bunch of invisible troops already there.
- or a besieging army is able to recruit in that province -which I doubt : can anybody confirm that ?

Something else I learned : you can hire a mercenary back for HALF price if you want to keep him in your service - uninterrupted.
I thought he just left you after 3 months and you had to hire him again if you wanted him - full price.
At the time I started my first - and only (demo) - big offensive there was just a Necromancer available with 80 Longdeads. I hired him and he ran roughshod through 5 Vanheim provinces even winning his 5th battle with only 1 (ONE!!!) Longdead remaining
I then send them both into the Vanheim capitol - as a statement and to get a look at what hung out there.

I had a great game until I got fooled by that Glamour ability and lost my Virtue.
It was around turn 32, so there's not much left in my demo game to return to.
Maybe try the "call god" thing, if there's anything special about it.
See what items Virtue still has with her when she returns - not much I reckon

Hej, getting better everyday.

You, uh, don't get any loot when recalled. You may get rid of a few afflictions you undoubtedly acquired while dying, but not necessarily all of them. And you don't get to keep any of your loot.

Does the demo still end after 40 turns?

If so, the "Call God" thing is probably a waste, unless you have a lot of priests (and you really want to have your Virtue when the game ends).

P.S.: I've had weird things happen during sieges as well (does it make sense that a pretender was eliminated, but still exists inside the Fortification?).
