heh how are you going to get the soulstone, unless you already have an army that can take it...

however, i would need more reports to think things have really been changed. Once, in a DomII game w/ norfleet's ermor neighbouring, a nice independent provice bordering my start had lamias and a lamia queen.

the lamia queen had the soulstone.

it stayed indepent for a long long time. though i did try assassinating her (f9s9 marignon bless) for funsies

I had the lamia thing in one of my Dom 3 SP games. Except it was wearing Fenris' Pelt.

I love stories like this

I've never seen an artifact on an indie, though. It's not a specials map?

Hmm, interesting. I got him too, but I haven't checked to see what he does in battle. He curses everyone, so I've currently got him on a solo commander perma-parked in an out-of-the-way province until I figure out what to do with him.

Got him from an indie myself--but I was playing EA Caelum, and this happened *before* I patched to 3.10.

I have seen the Pelt of Fenris turn up on an Indy in mp 3.08 .I guess it happens ocassionally that indies get artifacts, not sure why or what causes it.

It's the base Parganos map, with no mods. He's getting to be quite handy, and hasn't cursed anybody yet.

I've seen indies have artifacts quite a few times. It might be because I always set idies to 9, maybe not.

I hae noticed that the indies that pop up and take one your provinces almost always have at least one item, unless they are barbarians. A couple nights ago I watched the battle when I lost a province to pop-up indies and there were 5 or 6 artifacts between 2 indie commanders. I haven't had a chance to take it back so I don't know if they are all right now. (The strength message I get says there are fewer troops there now than there were during the battle.)

Edratman, are you talking about artifacts or plain items?

Yes, you are correct about my careless use of terminology. I usually seen plain items.
