Something strange happened...

Fine. Can some kind sould tell me how long it will take to "Call the God" to work? I checked the manual in units orders and Call God was no there.

If I am unable to call my pretender back I will be at a huge disadvantage...

Call God is described on P. 52 (as per the index of the manual)

Ubik · #3 January 7th, 2007, 03:13 PM

Yep!

Thanks!

But I think more than 40 levels have been called...

Could your god have vanished into space and time/been banished to inferno or anything like that?

Gandalf Parker · #5 January 7th, 2007, 03:53 PM

did you have boots on your god?
Did your dominion (the candles) drop to nothing?

Ubik · #6 January 7th, 2007, 08:14 PM

No boots and my dominion was strong across my territories and beyond (started with 5 dom, built 10 more temples, was at 7). It simply vanished without any kind of message.
I don't know if there is some kind of spell that can "banish" other pretender but I guess a message would appear, isn't it?
I would be delighted to provide any interested parties with the turn that happened, but it was maybe 20-30 turns ago and I don't have it saved. Anyways, who can tell me what files need to be saved to preserve a a particular turn?

Guess I am going to start all over. Playing a game without the pretender for me is a bit akin to playing chess without the King.

Thanks all for the nice help!

So playing dominions without a pretender makes you un-beatable?

When playing recently Ermor in the late age, i had a stacked legion of 2246 various undeads, i had a more than 30 commanders leading them.

Just before this turn, there was the mention of the deathmatch arena event. My prophet, that was part of this huge stack, was using some nice items and i wanted to get him on the arena to view the battle and see what kind of killing machine he could be now.

And impossible to find this commander in the stack, in the army setup option he was present in there, but not all the commanders were displayed in the main screen for selection, so i couldn't see him.

Maybe there was some shortcut i have not learned about yet to scroll between several "pages" of commanders in the main screen, but i could find it again only by splitting the huge stack and send various armies in nearby province.

So if you can't find your pretender , by any chances do you have a big stack of armies (and so lot of commanders) in a province that could "hide" your pretender from your view ?

Ubik · #9 January 7th, 2007, 09:14 PM

No... not at all. In fact I guess it makes me significantly weaker. Only I "pretend" to be the Pretender and without him I have no alter ego...

To call back your god if he died (the "call god" order should only be available if he did), you must accumulate at least 40 holy levels : for exemple, if you have 5 second-level priests with this order, you will accumulaire 5x2=10, so it will take 4 turns

Your god will then appear in your capitol (make sure that you still control this province, or your god might die again versus the heretics !)
