Re: Horror of horrors
VFB, that was me. I dispelled Thetis, then waited for the game to host to make sure it went through. Then went to AI.

Re: Horror of horrors
Well I had really really hoped you were going to wait one more turn as I knew it was coming. I had enough items forged to save most, if not all of my army and 3/4 of my mages. I just needed the lab from that castle to equip them. So great timing.  |

Re: Horror of horrors
I am really surprised you guys casted it with so few gems.

Re: Horror of horrors
Chalk it up as yet another noob mistake  .
I cast it at a 50% off site. I wonder if the excess gems were counted at half off or something weird like that? If so, serves me right for buying a Thetis on sale!

Re: Horror of horrors
You really can't afford to buy an offbrand Thetis. Sure it saves you money up front, but they have a tendency to wear out faster than a namebrand Thetis, often at the worst possible moment. Now the seas wreak of sailors who did not think to bring ships.

From my experience, you can issue orders and go AI at the same time. The game will execute the orders and then set you to AI.

AFAIK the magic bonus site reduces base gem cost, but additional gems are only counted after you exceed the base gem cost, which should be a bug. So, you wasted the gems. |

Well, not really wasted. If the base cost is 50, and I had put in 75 gems at a normal 100% cost site, I'm at +25.
If the base cost is 50 and I put in 75 gems at a 50% cost site (even though a minimum cast is 25), I'm still at +25.
The only way I'd save money would be to cast at the minimum and then recast when it's dispelled. Which isn't a good plan with Thetis  . But since I know I'm prone to mistakes, all my main guys had Goblets as a precaution, and I lost mostly chaff. Yay, less chaff!

Re: Horror of horrors
Ich, I know it could have went through with me setting myself to AI, but I would not have got the pleasure of seeing all those units drown if I went AI the same turn. I would have had to hear it secondhand
