Default Questions... who knows

Some questions... hopefully someone knows the answers:

1) If during a turn you create more items then what can be stored... do you still lose the gems for making the items??

2) If there is a commander underwater wearing a ring of water breathing... can he take off the ring since next turn he's moving onto the land... or would he have to wait until he was on the land to remove the ring??

3) If one of the elemental kings/queens die... can the spells be casted again to bring them back?? or are they dead forever??

4) Will the next patch allow us to rename our commanders?? {{I'm tired of seeing 4 people with the exact same name}}

1) 2) 3) I think you will need to try it and tell us. I think Ive done those but I dont remember the results.

4) I thought they had decided to go with hidden note-tags instead of rename.

4) We actually skipped the tags and now have an option to enable commander renaming.

I'd actually enjoy both features or I'll be having a bunch of mages named G1W G1R G1A G1W G2A G2W

G = Group
# = Group #
Letter = Special Power

I won't be able to play the game until this weekend... so I was hoping someone here knows what happens.

Thanks!

Wait, I've had a PoD die doing this thinking the same thing.

You can recast them.

Regarding the elmental queens/kings

In the prepatched game, I summoned all 3 of the Air Queens, and thought to myself, "What would happen if I cast the ritual again." It turned out that I get a replica of one of the 3 I already have, so now I got 4 of them in total! I thought that was weird and decided to not to summon more, for rationale reason (there are suppose to be 3...), and tried to get the 4th killed by sending it alone to enemy province.

Anyway, I was wondering whether, in the patched game now, this could happen or not. (I could test, but don't have a game in that research stage at the moment) If it can, then should it be classified as a bug? And if so, then perhaps we also need some sort of safe guard to prevent me from summoning my own 3 queens, when my opponents have already got all of them in service, as well as a message to inform me perhaps that my summon failed because they are already summoned and not killed/sent back yet.

Just some observation.

Renaming will be in the next patch to be released. The buglet with an extra Queen has been corrected, I believe. I don't have a game file handy right now that I can check with though.
