Prophetizing during siege

Coldshard · #1 July 25th, 2008, 08:49 PM

Is there a way to do this? I just regained the ability to name a new prophet but the place I really need him to be is in a keep that is currently under siege.. and the option isnt there!

Can I get around this somehow?

Just have him retreat from the siege.

Break siege, set to retreat. Provided you have a friendly province for him to escape to he'll be fine.

Wait I thought that Break Seige -> Retreat kills you? Whereas if you retreat from a Storm attempt then you live.

You'd think so.

This particular keep doesnt have a friendly province next to it and I kindof need the guy prophetized to help break the siege

Retreating from a stormed castle is not necessary the same as retreating from break siege. The manuel specifically said that retreating from break siege will kill you. Is there not true?

The manual is wrong. The only time you die from retreating is if there are no friendly provinces or if it's an assassination attempt.

Mistake of the manual or of the game mechanics?

Edi,

Thanks for the clarification.

BTW thanks also for the Dom database.

> Mistake of the manual or of the game mechanics?

Initially this would have been a mechanic bu, since we wanted the manual to be correct.
Now it is a manual mistake, since there are others and the manual is incorrect anyways, and we don't want the game to have bugs
