In my last game as agartha on the dawn, it seems it was dependent on the province. I never was able to use the stone from my capital (cave) or directly around it, but could use it from other locations both with summoned and nation sages.

I've tried it with a summoned air queen and no luck. I wasn't near my capital. Although everytime I have tried it was from in a province with a fort. Would that matter?

Great news! So it sounds like the Gate Stone only works for specific provinces. Could be only provinces with forts/castles OR Could be provinces based on the type of terrain.

i guess we should agree it is all f'ed up.

Its definately not forts. In the game where I had nexus knights, they where comming from a fort. but it was half the map away from my capitol.

in another game it was from a commander two provinces away from my capitol.

man this thing is all jacked up :/


The only similarity I can see in the games were I was able to get it to work was that I had over 4 enemies in each game.

okay further testing seems to indicate that gate stone sort of works in games started with a lot of players.

I have one I started with 8 players on urrapparround and the stone works fine (at least in an independants hands, but also in my nation-mages)

I'll attach the savegame, where its in the hands of a high magi named leric, province 98

further testing reveals: gatestone works with as little as 3 AIs, but not 3 human opponents.
