Yes they default back to the province they're in when there are a ton of nations where that path has not been searched at all.

Works fine for my SP games, just this one multiplayer game got out of whack.

Without a doubt, I've never played a game that has received so much attention and love from its devs such as DOM. One of the things I most respect about IW is that although the game was designed for MP, it doesn't take easy shortcuts to achieve balance and that care is taken to give each nation its own unique feel (unlike most RTS/TBS out there which give you four faction almost totally identical and perfectly balanced in every respect).

Way to go IW. Thank you!

How do you do monthly automatic rituals. I haven't seen it mentioned in the manual or the quick reference download.

[Foodstamp]

Highlight the mage, then hit shift+m, choose the ritual. Then your mage will perform his monthly rituals, just be sure to stock up on the appropriate feminine products !

Okay, that's it, Foodstamp.

I refuse to read any more of your posts when I'm supposed to be working.

This is the second time in about an hour that I burst out laughing at my desk for no apparent reason. You're gonna get me fired, man!

My apologies. My humor is pretty weaksauce, I promise that was the last one lol.

Hmm, periodically still get the multi-searchers (same type) losing the rhythm and picking the capital or stopping. Once they lose the rhythm they don't seem to pick it up again. Wonder if it has something to do with searching like 4,5,6 and then conquering 3 so they try to search that next and fall off track.

Have you tried, once they lose the rhythm, conquering a few new provinces and trying to set them searching again? Preferably provinces lower in number than your capital.

Also, if you set one to search the capital, does the next one also target the capital, or move to the next unsearched province?

My results have been consistent. A searcher picks the lowest numbered unsearched non-capital province. Except that sometimes capitals are targeted and some other provinces are skipped. But it's consistent about that, too. A skipped province is always skipped and a targeted capital is always targeted.
I'll generally just let them search the capital if they want to. It's a waste of gems and time, but it lets me keep using the auto-search.

Yes

Yes

Variable for me

And me too

Usually they just seem to stop altogether, and I haven't found the exact trigger for it yet. Maybe the whole "skipped" province is the wierd bit?
