Re: Beginner Questions
In the game startup I select the option that allows "Renaming." What exactly does this allow me to rename and where is it done. I have been unable to find a way to rename cities or mages/priests.

Re: Beginner Questions
Tactics question:
Should you sacrifice troops in order to build a 2nd temple early in the game? Seems like building an early second temple gives you an extra check and more dominion spread but at the sacrifice at province expansion.
Is the dominion spread worth it?

Re: Beginner Questions
Hmmm everything has its pros and cons, but generally Id say.. its not worth it that soon.
I would at LEAST make sure that you have taken all of the provinces connected to your castle (press the 8 key to help you tell). And usually I would go another loop or so before I start thinking about another temple. By then I tend to find someplace that needs a temple. Someplace I can recruit special units if I have a temple there.
Of course, if undead armies at approaching fast then toss out everything I said.

With a nation like Abysia I would though. I always have heavy good scales with it, and the starting army can take all of the provinces around my capital 9 times out of 10, so the faster I get my scales out there the more troops I can build later, and I don't need them immediately.
Most of the time it can wait though. |

Re: Beginner Questions
Ahh yes. the nations with cold and heat requirements would have a sooner need for temples. Good point.
Probably the death nations also who benefit from pushing death scales. Their armies grow faster because of it.
