A colossal army of eight heavy earth evokers with no precision, one practically-supercombatant, 9 trampling earth elementals and 115 big squishy sacred dickmonsters got beaten off by 21PD and a lone footman.

Maybe because of enormous amounts of magma eruption friendly fire into the back of the sacred dickmonsters, but I think the elementals died because the mages routed first? Is Dark Skies up and running?

Right.

Well in that case, I'm guessing evo spam killed elementals and then blade wind made Ancient Ones flee?

Yeah I'm guessing all/the vast majority of the pale ones were in a single squad and once they routed from friendly fire it triggered an HP route.

as an aside, does anyone know if PD commanders not routing at the 25% hp mark is an intended change? Or did that whole mechanic get revamped on dom4

Use magics. Solar rays, dust to dust etc. If your troops don't have magic weapons you need to deploy mages, at which point lemurs should die easily.

It's because you've been throwing nothing but chaff at them, with zero battle magic or any magic support at all. Constantly. Over and over again. Like it'll work when it's the 8th try.

I do know that pd doesn't count towards hp routes like it used to so it won't route support mages with them as easily. Maybe they hosed with commander behavior then as well.

I gravitated towards the Greens, eventually even joining the party itself.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

I should point out even the AI is able to summon poo poo and occasionally employ mages in support of chaff. So you're objectively worse then the AI right now. I think this should be worth a price. :v:

So how does the Ur special fertility event work? I was told you need an Ensi and Entu in your capital at the end of the year, and then you get a special event. But I've tried it in test games and haven't gotten anything.

No, it just fires every few years at random, as far as I can tell.

it fires at random, and if you get the royal couple into the capital, you have a chance of triggering a flurry of income+ and growth+ events.

Funny thing is, I seem to recall the event also triggering in captured enemy capitals. Don't remember if it was possible to trigger the good followup events, though.

When I first heard about it (the negative events associated with not doing it) I fired up a test game to see. In the one where I didn't do it it was clear within 1 year that the events were getting bad and frequent. But in the game where I had the two hanging out to get them to gently caress I must have hit end turn 50 times and got nothing.

So basically just keep a pair there at all time, or does it only trigger in winter/spring?
