Thats because they eat clams - unholy stuff according to JK.

Wow. I didn't realize the default religion of the game was Jewish.

Bad news for Vanheim... ritual eaters of pigs, definitely unkosher

And for Mictlan, the long pig is even worse.

OTOH, Mussels in white wine and butter sauce may be worth forgoing paradise, on a present-value calculation....

I am on turn 65 of my first game...... and every time I hit host button the game crashes to desktop.

I have 3 files in my save game. Should I send these to someone to fix ???

I just created a game on the World map, as Jotun/Utgard, and my starting location was Hawaii. Surrounded by water, my giants are unable to move.

I presume this is a bug?

Please wait for the upcoming patch which will hopefully fix that.

Probably a map bug. The province could be specially marked as "#nostart" in the .map file.

New bug:

When modding a unit, giving it a new name clears the description. For example,

#selectunit 100
#name "Sheep Shredder"
#end

...gives unit 100 a new name, but deletes the old description.

Ivy Kings can't wear the Crown of the Ivy King, lacking a head (slot). Seems a bit odd, but perhaps the missing head explains their prolonged absence...

My mounted Tuatha was able to use a Crystal Shield which says mounted units cant use it

Defenders in sieges can recruit troops, in the sense that they can pay gold for them, .... but they don't actually appear the next (or any following) turn.

This should be fixed, so they can't recruit at all,(as with attackers) ....or can and actually do... otherwise it is a potentially ugly bug, especially in MP.

At the very least it should be aggressively documented.

Thanks,

Rabe the Missing his Yummy new mage, Dammit!

Since the defender loses the income of the province to the beseigers, who after all occupy the entire province except the keep itself, then the defenders should most definitely not be able to gather more troops. The proper fix, IMHO, is to simply disable recruiting. No recruiting, no gold loss.
