Rhoscrowther - Late Age game for MP Newbies (up)

[shard]

So whats going on? Everyone nicely forging away...? We in the north side of the river would be interested in news of the south. The war with Pangaea is all but over and we hope that there will at last be a measure of peace to the shattered people of the land. Unfortunately, the winds of war flame on, for we have heard reports from our scouts of battles raging between the Eagle and the Serpent.



...
The two nations with amphibious nationals have been quite quick to jump into the water in the absence of pure aquatic nations though I was quite surprised to see Patala with an early underwater fortress. I didn't think land nations could build underwater castles... well apart from LA Atlantis.

I didn't build that fortress, I found it. As far as I know, most nations can only find underwater fortresses or create them by magic. But I think there is a higher number of hidden underwater forts than land ones.

Oh yes, that reminds me - when you take over a province, either indy or an opponent's, does chance determine whether sites present in that province get uncovered? Or like... if you conquer that province with a w4 mage then its more likely that u'll find a water site? When i mean 'find' i don't mean by finding via site searching... I mean by just walking over it with an army

[WonderLlama]

I think certain sites are automatically visible. And other you have to search for.

To answer shard's question of a few posts ago: Every site has a difficulty level for finding between 0 and 4. If it is zero it will be automatically uncovered when the province is captured. Otherwise a mage of the appropriate level has to do a search to find it. Hence a level 4 water mage is guaranteed to find all water sites in a province when he does a search. He does have to actually do the search though.

We have received reports from our remote border wardens of Pythian watchforts being swarmed by a large body of flying creatures accompanied by mammoths and a slew of horrific living dead. While we prefer to stay out of the affairs between neighbouring nations such a potential threat to our own people cannot be taken lightly.

The war is truly raging. Still I cant tell you who is winning as my computer is down but as far as remember I think my pretender is now heading for the capital along with few hydras. Yet I must admit that our armies are not as grand as the ones of caelum but we shall see what happens.
