Like the title says. What I am getting are messages that my nation may be cheating to get wealth (I'm not seeing any of it).

I'm playing in the game Lapis (http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/showthread.php?t=42502). What further information do you require from me?

Not sure what the title of this thread is in reference to, but the 'message from host' that sometimes appears in-game saying "Nation X has had an unexplained increase in wealth. This may be the result of cheating" happens at least once a game in my experience, and often more than once. I has certainly happened in every game I am currently playing in (although can't ever remember seeing it before the most recents patches).

As far as I know nobody has ever actually recieved any extra gold/gems from the so called 'unexplained increase in wealth'. And also AFAIK, nobody knows what causes it. My own hunch is that it's connected to the merc bidding mechanic somehow, but I've been unable to reproduced the error reliably in SP games to confirm or eliminate my hunch.

Not sure what the title of this thread is in reference to.Sorry about being unclear. The title means that I can't summon Ushabti Avatars even when I cast the spell, and my gems disappear! :(

Is there some sort of special condition for the spell? Are there only so many I can summon?

You should PM Llama that being his nation.

I know that you could summon them in the .86 or .84 version of the game. I can't remember which one but it was the last one I tried through a SP game.

In this very game, Lapis, some Avatars were summoned already, by previous player.

Yeah, I have no explanation for this. It was working fine when I was playing.

This should probably be in the mod forum.

For those confused, he is referring to a summon in llamabeast's excellent Tomb Kings mod nation.
