MP: Tiny Cataclysm - Tratorix Winner !!

[jimbojones1971]

Well, found that province (its in normal games too, not just cataclysm) that is defended by three air mages well stocked with air gems - orb lightning madness!

I am pleased to say though that, through a combination of using sermon of courage to get my heavy infantry to fight to the death, and mass archer fire plus some judicious smiting from my prophet, we were able to prevail. Having said that, of the 27 heavy infantry that went into the fight ... one survived. (The archers got a much better deal of it, not even one got wounded much less died.)

So I have made the surviving unit of heavy infantrymen into our royal guard, and deployed them back to the capital where they can spend their remaining years being feted for their bravery and fed peeled grapes by semi-naked female (or male - we are an open minded people!) admirers.

Long live to him.

Is anyone else finding that their heavy infantry have a lifespan somewhat shorter than a fruit fly?

Which ones? Both the light infantry and heavy infantry are called heavy on the recruiting screen. I seem to have an acceptable attrition rate on the true heavies.

The "light" heavy infantry are just dead men walking. The other ones are doing OK, but I find that my typical battle ends with the few surviving heavies fleeing the field while my ranged guys mow down the enemy and win the day with contemptuous ease.

Found a bugged site. Shambler City. Scout's honor, I won't recruit any of those free Wild Ettins (0 gold, 1 resource). If anyone else sees one of those sites, I guess we'll have to have a gentlemen's agreement not to take advantage?

It's not game-breaking, the units aren't mega-overpowered or anything, but they're free, which is probably not working as intended.

Yeah, agreed dojango. At the end, we can bundle them all up and stick them on the mod thread for fixing.

How are people finding the mod so far, out of interest? I'm quite enjoying it, as it is very different, but I really am very confused about how well I am actually doing in the game.

Why the hell my stupid lonely commander has to follow my cavalry and die ...
Why doesn't he stand peaceful at the rear of the field and wait the job to be done... ?

Aaaah damn bunglers...

[Bullock]

No don't worry i didn't found many either.
Maybe 2 sites for every 5 lands.
When i tried in SP i had something more like 2 for 3 lands.

[jimbojones1971]

Out of interest, are people doing much site searching?

I did a bunch SP and got some good returns, but so far in this game its been a waste of time.
