bugs when site searching via spells

[romis]

Odd that even now i can't locate these links via searching(i did find them though, thank you)

I know i am going to upset some people by saying this, but given you can adjust the frequency of magical sites, shouldn't this value scale? once you have completed searching all known sites, shouldn't it cycle again. i mean this is a rather frustating setup, given the limited user interface this game has.

That info is already available on the Nation Summary (F1) for every province you currently control.

yes, but this is a clumsy solution at best, especially since if you have multiple mages ready to cast the same type of search spell, you have no way of knowing, other than memory or searching all your mages, which sites you have already targeted that turn, and i find it very easy to forget especially since i have to scroll through the nation overview, then search the map for the corresponding province. all the names start to run together pretty quick.


Well here is something that is definitely a bug. i've noticed the information between games isn't getting cleared, this has been reported already to some small degree, with battles from previous games showing up on new maps, but its much worse than that, and i haven't seen it mentioned. if i am playing premade maps i *seem* okay(i stick to randoms unless i'm checking out a nation, and then i play the same map, and only breifly, so..), but when i play randomly generated maps, anything after the first map can be trashed(screwed up borders, castle and troop placements, etc). if the effect shows up after 1 generation, i can usually restart the application and the map will correct itself when it loads, if i've generated 2 or 3 maps already, its just junk. basically if i want to create a new game after a random generation my only safe option is to shut down the application and restart.
again, my apologies if its known.

The current forum search needs plus signs in front of the keywords or it will search for any of the words entered, not all of them.

That's been around since forever, and I'm fairly certain that it already is on the bug list. The game caches the map images, so if you generate random maps of the same name more than once it will make a new .map but keep the old image.
