I honestly had no idea what I was unleashing there. At first I got some random dog allies, and all was well, but then those dogs died in a dog attack and one of my friars got into a bare-fisted brawl with a dog. If I've turned the game into wolf-world I sincerely apologize.

There was a message this last turn that the power of the Throne of Beasts has waned, so presumably the dog attacks will at least slow.

I got hit with a couple, but fortunately my casters are secretly giant cats who kill dogs dead.

It could be worse. While I too have been getting random werewolf attacks and assassin dogs, one of my spider mages just got the Tainted Presence tag from fucking a witch and producing a foul spawn.

No bullshit. One of my mages got a mystical STD and a monster baby.

Oh man, am I glad that's over with. I had three land provinces two turns ago. Now I have one.

What is the Tainted Presence tag?

Korwin · Post by **Korwin** » Wed Feb 18, 2015 8:31 am

I assumed Horror Mark.

Tainted Presence is apparently new in a patch, and it gives extra leadership while looking incredibly ominous. As in, it uses the Horror Mark icon.

Tainted Presence uses a version of the Horror Mark. It's a blue aura around a black person instead of a blue aura around a red person like on a Horror Mark.

Atlantis wishes to formally announce our claim to the waters.

I knew you were after my precious bodily fluids!

Yeah, I got a couple water, I accidentally put PD10 in one not thinking. Sorry about that.

What the hell is going on in Scorpion Cracks? It's like Eriu is fighting an actual (small) war with undead indies.

Ulm can open negotiations for the sale of dwarven hammers (and other Construction 2 goodies), with specific interest in Death and Astral gems.

Okay, who opened the bad box? Eriu, I'm looking in your direction.

Korwin · Post by **Korwin** » Mon Feb 23, 2015 6:14 am

bad box?

The Silver Sarcophagus global event, that raises death by 2 and diseases a bunch of units.

Ikeren · Post by **Ikeren** » Mon Feb 23, 2015 5:47 pm

Oooh, I've seen that in single player. How do you open it? Send a commander there and activate an event? Or do you just discover it?

Edit: Also, Ulm can forge goodies such as Dwarven Hammers and Owl Quills at reasonable prices. Mostly looking for your unwanted, unused Death and Astral gems.

I got 2 separate turn files that are different sizes for Turn 31.

Shiritai · Post by **Shiritai** » Wed Feb 25, 2015 8:37 pm

Yeaaah, same here. And the second says I staled. Looks like a hiccup where it ran the turns twice, maybe?

Also the purple font for the second email was a mystery.

Ikeren · Post by **Ikeren** » Wed Feb 25, 2015 8:56 pm

So everyone uses the first instance?

Shiritai · Post by **Shiritai** » Wed Feb 25, 2015 9:07 pm

Not sure if that'd work. The second turn 31 file it sent us takes place after the first turn 31; they're layered on top of each other.

And llamaserver is saying we all staled that last turn, sooo we might be stuck with the second turn 31.

name_here · Post by **name_here** » Wed Feb 25, 2015 10:32 pm

Well, we could probably make it recompute the turn. However, the new version has some major bugs and I recommend we hold off till the next patch or hotfix in either case.

Ikeren · Post by **Ikeren** » Thu Feb 26, 2015 12:16 am

So, for the moment, use the second turn 31?

Also, I noticed summons aren't showing up, and in my single player game, gems converted via alchemy show warnings to the server as cheating.

K · Post by K » Thu Feb 26, 2015 12:42 am

I suggest we just power through because this is probably just a hiccup. Everyone staling is annoying, but not entirely fatal at this point to anyone.

Shiritai · Post by **Shiritai** » Thu Feb 26, 2015 1:56 am

Seems sending the first turn 31 works fine, so there's no stale after all.
