I love this new feature as well. I have a mancrush on the developers.

Yes they default back to the province they're in when there are a ton of nations where that path has not been searched at all.

Works fine for my SP games, just this one multiplayer game got out of whack.

Without a doubt, I've never played a game that has received so much attention and love from its devs such as DOM. One of the things I most respect about IW is that although the game was designed for MP, it doesn't take easy shortcuts to achieve balance and that care is taken to give each nation its own unique feel (unlike most RTS/TBS out there which give you four faction almost totally identical and perfectly balanced in every respect).

Way to go IW. Thank you!

How do you do monthly automatic rituals. I haven't seen it mentioned in the manual or the quick reference download.

Highlight the mage, then hit shift+m, choose the ritual. Then your mage will perform his monthly rituals, just be sure to stock up on the appropriate feminine products

Okay, that's it, Foodstamp.

I refuse to read any more of your posts when I'm supposed to be working.

This is the second time in about an hour that I burst out laughing at my desk for no apparent reason. You're gonna get me fired, man!

I'm actually surprised that people have not discovered the search algorithm trigger point.

AFAICT, the 'auto-search' function WILL skip a province if that province has 2 or more sites already in it. EDIT: It will search other provinces that don't meet this condition. It will then default to the province the person is in.

This is ANY 2 sites in it. If you find a province with a Copper Mine and an Arena, the auto-search function will never look at it, in my experience.

I also _think_ the game bypasses any site that has been searched to any level in a single path search spell (if you have had an E1 mage search a province, Gnome Lore will skip it).

This is the primary reason I tend to use Acashic Record. It cuts the number of missed sites to an absolute minimum (as they all pop up at the same time).

Can anyone verify/deny?
