There can only be 5 active globals, and if another is cast (by anyone), it may replace an existing one at random.

It's not entirely random, as far as I've seen. It seems to be more sadorandom than truly random.

There's only one of the developers which knows the real truth behind these secrets... but the other developers keep him locked inside in a dark closet where his food is passed to him under the iron door.

Only 5 global enchantments max at any one time, OK.

But if you cast another one (when there are already five out) can you be SURE your new GE will become effective and one of the older ones will be dispelled OR is there a chance your newly cast GE will not be able "to break into " the list ?

Yes.

And now he has disappeared altogether

Edit: he doesn't know either, but he's the only one likely to find the answers in the code.

I'll keep posting my questions in this thread so I don't clutter up the board with trivia questions.

So far I've "experienced" that you can't recruit in a besieged fortress.

Four questions :

1) do you have to keep "some presence" in a fortress to defend it or can you leave it alone (empty) and will the walls STILL have to be broken down first before the besieger can attack ?

2) does a province which holds a besieged fortress still generate gold ?

3) What other possible effects - less noticeable for the newer player - come with besieging a fortress ?

4) Apparently, when a commander has no troops under his command he's supposed to be IN garrison.
Does that mean that you can add a Commander to your Provincial Defense just by putting 1 unit under that commander's command so that he's supposed to be out on the field ?
